Using 2 dual port HBAs how many path can serve data at the same time.

Hi,

Today I suggested my windows administrator to use 2 dual port HBAs on his server. He asked me what is the benefit and I explained he can map the ports each port on those hba to 2 SP port. This way he will get 8 IO streams and all of them can server data at the same time. Is that possible??? If not, then how many paths can actively server IOs at the same time using ALUA and 2 dual port HBAs.?
