Good presentation from Bill Wiegand (thanks !)
This presentation covers SAN zoning in a dual fabric, dual VIOS Power, NPIV and SVC or V7000 environment to achieve 4 paths per LUN and to ensure zoning such that an application can continue to run in a dual failure scenario (failure of two of a VIOS, SAN fabric and SVC/V7000 node). It examines all possible 4 path configurations and shows those that meet these objectives.

I know this is kinda old post but I have a doubt….
right now we have 2 brocade 300 switch (24 ports) and a v7000.
We need to add some more servers….. so we want to know
1. if 4 switch is a supported configuration for v7000?
2. if so how must be connected? from Caniter 1 each port to each brocade 300? 4 = 4
3. does the switch need to be stacked in pairs? or they can work independently?
sorry to bother you but I don’t any documentation regarding 4 fabrics for a v7000

You can have more then 2 FC switches in front of the V7000. Here you should find the information you need ->http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/storwize/ic/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.ibm.storwize.v7000.doc%2Fsvc_configrules_21rdwo.html
Please let me know if you need further advise.
Thanks !
