Hello all I'd like the opinions of the group on the use multiport HBA's for connecting to a tape library (infact a ProtecTIER VTL)
What experience does anyone have using dual port 8Gb PCIe cards in a pSeries - the card model is 5735 and is a dual port one. I'd originally asked for 2 x single port HBA's but this is all that's free in the particular frame. Should I be concerned about the throughput as all my data is going through the single card? I've not been able to find out much about the actual sustained throughput of this card. I'll be connecting it into 4Gb switch ports btw Thoughts? Thanks all!
