I didn't have a chance to try it myself yet, however Round Robin is HP's recommended Path Policy (except for MSCS configurations)

see http://h20195.www2.hp.com/v2/GetPDF.aspx/4AA3-3801ENW.pdf

Best practice for setting P2000 G3 MSA active-active arrays
As a best practice, round robin I/O path policy is the recommended setting for the P2000 G3 MSA array. MRU is the default setting and also suitable if round robin is not the desired setting in the specific environment.

The MSA in question is active/active so you should be able to use Round Robin.

Hell.

Why I didn't find that document when searching the internet for hours?

It seems to answer all my question esp. the one if the iops of 1 which is recommended for EVA is also considered best practise for P2000 G3.

Thank's a lot for that hint.

Cheers.
