Hello... We are purchasing a two-engine VMAXe and I have a couple planning questions:

#1. What are the FA Port designations for each engine?

(in a regular VMAX, the first two engines are 8E-0, 9E-0, 10E-0, 11E-0, etc...)

I see a document "front-end port layout" that shows similar port numbers E0, E1, F0, F1, etc., but I don't see anything related to the FA designation.

#2. What is best practice related to SAN Connectivity

We connected all even director ports to Fabric A and odd director ports to Fabric B with the VMAX

8e-0, 8e-1, 8f-1, etc. go to Fabric A

9e-0, 9e-1, 11f-0, etc. go to Fabric B

But I see statements that describe connecting ports from both odd and even directors to both fabrics

8e-0, 9e-0, 10e-0, 11f-0, etc. go to Fabric A

8e-1, 9e-1, 10e-1, 11f-1, etc. go to Fabric B

Thanks!
