HBA setup,
Hi folks,
If i've got two HBA double ports on my server. Should i use both cards port A for disk and port B for tapes ? or should i dedicate a HBA for disk and one HBA for tapes.... And having a single point of failure on the server........
People says not to mix the trafic on the HBA. I understand for single port HBA but what about double and quadruple ports HBA......
Somes manufacturers says "no problem" has long has you dont exceed the limits of the port. That i accept.
So is there a geek / wiz that can provide me with a real answer.
Thanks

use port 1 on HBA1 and port 1 on HBA2 for disk, use port 2 on HBA1 (or 2) for tape. As long as you are not mixing tape/disk on the same port, you are fine.
