according to this , yes ports are FA1 and FA2 in engine 1. I see what you doing in your layout. Looks good to me.    [IMAGE]  Message was edited by: dynamox
Hello... We are purchasing a two-engine VMAXe and I have a couple planning questions:  #1. What are the FA Port designations for each engine? (in a regular VMAX, the first two engines are 8E-0, 9E-0, 10E-0, 11E-0, etc...) I see a document "front-end port layout" that shows similar port numbers E0, E1, F0, F1, etc., but I don't see anything related to the FA designation.  #2. What is best practice related to SAN Connectivity We connected all even director ports to Fabric A and odd director ports to Fabric B with the VMAX 8e-0, 8e-1, 8f-1, etc. go to Fabric A  9e-0, 9e-1, 11f-0, etc. go to Fabric B  But I see statements that describe connecting ports from both odd and even directors to both fabrics 8e-0, 9e-0, 10e-0, 11f-0, etc. go to Fabric A 8e-1, 9e-1, 10e-1, 11f-1, etc. go to Fabric B  Thanks!
