So I have recently rebuilt my freenas server to utilize it for virtualization in addition to storage. I also recently purchased an HP MSA 70 storage enclosure which supports dual port SAS storage, upon researching it HP says it only open VMS and hp-ux support dual Port drives. I however am wondering for use with High throughput storage for virtual machines, if set up properly for dual path through-put, is freenas able to utilize dual path drives, given that the article I was reading was very old in the world of computers.
If so, is there any real world benefit to doing so outside of path redundancy, because if all I would have achieved with that is redundancy in the form of extra paths to the data, then this is merely extra complexity, for no gain from my usage scenario.
Thank you for your time.
