Hi Cameron,
you definetly want to do multipathing with FCP. Unlike with FICON, your
adapter (and your physical fibre) will be a single point of failure if you
don't. In order to maximize performance, you can combine multipathing with
raid0 striping to gain further.
with kind regards
Carsten Otte

Subject: Best Practices EVMS FCP Multipathing
Greetings,
Just a few Questions reguarding FCP Multipathing. I have installed
multiple systems with a 5 GB LUN for the / system and am wondering if it
is a good idea to define this with multipathing, or is it better to add
more disks to the mix and multipath those that are only used for say
databases and such? What is the best practice for this. Is it a good idea
to have multipathing on your root volume or not? Novell does not seem to
know either. They are hinting at the idea a bit that there would be more
problems if you had the root volume setup with multipathing. Any ideas?
What do you think? Has anyone had any experiences with this that they
would like to share?
