Stream distribution
When multiple streams are used from a client with more than 1 HBA port, the jobs are distributed in a round robin fashion with one stream being assigned to each port in turn. E.g. if 4 jobs are run using 2 ports then job1 will use port 1, job 2 will use port 2, job 3 will share port 1 with job 1 and job 4 will share port 2 with job 2. This means that as job streams complete and new job streams do not take their place the ports will be under-utilized in the same way that tape drives using multiplexing may be under utilized as the number of concurrent jobs decreases.So it would be possible to have 4 ports configured on the client talking to 4 ports on the media server.
