OK, my mistake then; I should have written "LACP on the switch stack". I mean if I have a multi blade switch (which came with the enclosure) and the server room is so small that I can actually hook the SAN with multiple wires to the said switch stack... why not? I'm asking because I haven't seen this option mentioned, everybody seems to standardise on multipath, wondered why... What's the catch? :-o
