  • Multipathing / link aggregation used: MPIO.

Additional considerations:

The CORVAULT solution has two controllers, 4 x 12Gb/s SAS ports in each controller. It can be configured with 1-4 hosts using MPIO multipathing and with 1-8 hosts using a single connection. MPIO configuration was utilized for Veeam Ready testing purposes
