Re: [Xen-users] xen and SAN.

Hi Pasi,

Can I have more information about your topology ?

- Number of physical and virtual servers per SAN (if it's possible).

With Equallogig by Dell, there is two controllers but 1 active an 1 
passive, so if I understand, you have bonded all NIC (3) by controller 
to obtain 3 Gbit/sec?
Thanks.
