I have hosts with 1Gb Hba,s, That connect to a Mcdata switch with 2Gb HBA's installed. I use a SVC with 2Gb Hba's and the backend is a ds8300 with 4Gb Hba's. I have TPC so I can monitor I/O performance. What should I being seeing for I/O R/W speed at the Mcdata? Is the 1Gb Hba bottlenecking me?
BTW I do run mutlipathing for redundancy using 2 Fc instead of 1. Would 4 provide a gain?
