Question,

I have 2 Qlogic Fiberchannel HBA's (2100F's) connected directly to both FCAL 
ports on my Sun A5200 22 Disk disk array.  If I enable multipath, do I get 
twice the throughput between my linux box and the array ? Or is multipath 
purely for failover.

Additionally do I get twice the bandwidth anyhow since both HBA's see the 
same disk ?  How can I tell if either one or the other or both hba's are 
being utilized...

These are private loops being run in full duplex.
