i-SCSI quad path
Is it possible to configure a Dell R710 connected to a MD3000i by using 4 nics in my R710. Manuals show dual path configuration but I am curious if I can setup a quad path configuration and will I get better throughput.

You would want to configure the server to have all four paths available to the MD, but only one controller (thus 2 ports) owns any particular lun or volume, so there would not really be any performance increase. You use the multiple paths to redundancy and failure tolerance.
