FCIP and iSCSI performance
In most use cases, mixing iSCSI and FCIP on the same blade will provide adequate performance.
However, high availability/performance goals may dictate a dedicated MPX200 for each function
or protocol. For example, if your performance needs are for more that 8 Gb/s of FC access for iSCSI
alone, configuring FCIP on the same blade would limit FC access to only 8 Gb/s and would not meet
the performance requirements for that situation.
