Hi,

I have a customer, which has exclusive access to 8 FE-ports on our 3-engine 10K box. The customer basically has 2 types of servers: databases (OLTP type) and ESX server farms (running various applications - fairly random I/O patterns). These normally are rather different I/O types.

My question is, if the best solution is to use all the 8 ports in a single group for all servers and LUNs, or would it be better to create 2 x 4 port PGs, and use each group to the servers with a certain type of traffic?

Thanks.
