Hi Dynamox, I'll take a stab here:  #1 - Yes, this illustration is supported for the max number of paths for a dual-brick engine (if the user wants to have 8 paths with 2 HBAs). There is actually this illustration in the host guide that matches the picutre, but turns the dotted lines into solid lines:  [IMAGE]   #2 - You have the correlation right. Here is a pic from a running system. I feel your pain...RPA's are like that too between generations:  [IMAGE]   #3 - Yes, it requires two sets of commands (like VPLEX does). However, you can register an SSH key that would allow you to pass through or you can install the XMCLI client to do something similar I think (never played with this cause it only supports CentOS 64-bit OS), but if I remember correctly, you setup a certificate to communicate between the XMS and this CentOS client and can just execute commands against it without logging in every time and that could give you want you want around monitoring commands/outputs.  HTH
Hello,  Let's start out that i have read XtremIO Host configuration guide [IMAGE]   1)  Is this configuration supported ?  In the host config guide the only time i see "cross" xbrick zoning is when a host has multiple HBAs. Let's say my host does not have an extra set of HBAs but they would prefer to have 8 logical paths to their LUNs.  [IMAGE]  2) When i look on the back of a storage controller, specifically FC ports. Port on the far right is port 0 and then port right next to it is port 1. I want to make sure that port 0 corresponds to FC 1 in the management application ?  This is not a silly question. Your friends over at Isilon take port 0 on the 10GB NIC and label it port 1 in the software and port 1 is labeled port 0 (make sense right ?)[IMAGE]  3) SSH access to the XMS. I want to be able to ssh to the XMS and run cli commands. From what i can see right now i have to ssh as xmsadmin, once logged-in i am once again prompted to login using admin account. Is this the only way using ssh ? (i am not interested in REST). Goal is to run monitoring commands.  Thank you
