ISCSI Servers 2 or 4?

Just got done setting up a new VNX3150 and was curious if my approach of setting up four seperate iscsi servers was the right route to go:

Some docs i've been reading suggest creating two servers one for SPA and one for SPB and including the interfaces from each SP in each server?  Thoughts?

    I'm pretty sure this is not possible change LUN owner in VNXe after its been created, unfortunately.

    About iSCSIServers, is not exactly a problem using four instead of two, but the best practices for using HA in your environment, it's like I told.

    Take a look why:

    Yeah, the ritgh thing to do in this case is create 2 iSCSI servers. One per SP whit two ethernet adapters.

    Thanks for that, and understood, in my case I'm just using a single isolated subnet as i'm dealing with a switch stack and prefer to use just one vSwitch on the VMware side.  Thanks again for taking the time to answer my question

    Thanks, is it possible to switch the owner of a LUN after its been created?  Is there an issue with having four vs two?  Just trying to think now that i have a few things already created, if there would be an issue if I left it as is.
