Hello,

I have businness requirement, to connect 3par 8200 to 4 (four) separate fabric SAN network. It is supported. Deployment guides only shows scenario with 2 separate fabric.

Do you have any additional HBAs? With only the onboard ports you cannot make redundant paths to more than 2 fabrics and without redundant paths to each fabric you cannot fullfill best practice.

Yes, i have additional HBA in this 3par 8200. So redundancy to all fabric will be fulfiled, but i just wonder if that is supported because I cant find in the cabling documents scenario with four separate fabric connection.

Of course it supported.

Just make sure partner ports are in the same fabric.

Hello, such a scenario I saw in the Peer Persistence guide. Check it out.

Supported. As Mammagut mentioned, make sure partner ports are on the same fabric if you want port persistence feature to work.
