I have a MediaAgent which was initially configured with an optical fiber to the StoreOnce, and now it was enabled a new optical fiber, so I want to take the two optical fibers, since when performing a Backup continues to take only one fiber (the first initially enabled).
Is it necessary to make an additional configuration to take both optical fibers?

Thank you very much for your help. Blessings.

Hi @FeRox 

I believe the StoreOnce is designed only for path fail over, not for multipath IO.

  • StoreOnce Catalyst over Fibre Channel does not use or rely on any external multi-path drivers. Connections are balanced using StoreOnce Catalyst over Fibre Channel internal algorithms. Catalyst over Fibre Channel ignores installed multi-path drivers.
