We have two HP DL 385 accessing a Fibre Channel Subsystem
http://www.starline.de/infortrend-eonstor-s12f-G1433-R1432/index.htm
which has redundant controllers, each with 2 ports.
In the HP we plugged FC controllers from QLogic:
# lspci:
Fibre Channel: QLogic Corp. ISP2432-based 4Gb Fibre Channel to PCI
Express HBA (rev 03)
Each of these controllers has 2 ports, so we have redundant access from
each server to each controller.
On the servers, we run XenServer 5 HP edition (booting from USB) and
just had to select "use multipath" and everything worked automatically.
We tried removing a single connection, and it still works like a charm.
The reason why we didn't buy a HP DSA storage is that the disks are way
too expensive from HP, we now use Fujitsu 15k disks and they are very
fast and save a lot of money.
