This means that you don't interconnect both switches. Otherwise, issues on one port also affect the other port. What do you use for storage? SRP? This requires dm-multipath and fast IO failing + automatic reconnect patches from Bart or from me. All other traffic like IPoIB for example also has to be able to switch the port.
