FlexPort I/0 best practics

Hi our customer has purchased a new CLARiiON CX4-480 array and would like to know how to optimize back-end performance using the FlexPort I/0 modules. Which EMC best practice optimizes back-end performance?

Yes, and you can refer to the design options below for UltraFlex I/O modules in a CX4-480 array.

i am not sure if there is anything documented specifically for ultraflex I/O modules but as far as host connectivity is concerned you want to connect each HBA to at least SPA and SPB. Ultraflex ports just give you more front-end connectivity, i don't think they can be used as BE ports.

that is, I can use up to two BE and two FE ports per FC I/0 module?
