This is well documented by the way. Both in the best practice and port persistance guide.
3.1.3 lifts the requirement for dedicated RC ports, and lets you share host traffic and RC traffic on the same port.
This is not true I'm afraid, the capability change is the ability to now configure ports on the Hba for either rc or host access, you can't use one port for both a host and rc traffic.(you could have 2 ports for rc and 2 for host, or 1 and 3 etc)
Before, you had to dedicate a Hba to one or the other, but as the 7000 only has 1 Hba slot they allowed you to use the 4 ports for a mix of host and rc ports (this was enabled in 3.1.2), but this wasn't allowed on the 10000 still. 3.1.3 brings in the ability to also do this mix on the 10000 series, but they still can't be shared with disk (initiator) ports.
