Optimal Configuration and Zoning
In order to get the best performance from the router, configure your system as
follows:
 In the physical topology, configure a single switch with two ports each from
the router, source array, and destination array.
 Set the zoning such that each router port sees both controller ports from the
source array and the destination array.
 Balance the LUNs on the source and destination arrays between the two
controller ports.
Figure 6-1 shows a topology that provides maximum performance.

NOTE:
QLogic recommends that you do not simultaneously run more than four data
migration jobs.
