An initator is a group of wwns or a single one.. depends on how your pathing is done

all hbas and netapp controllers are plugged into same brocade switch.

what is the benefit of doing one to one hba to single intiator vs multiple to single initiator?

They should be multi-homed... Not sure the value of plugging into same switch

one side fabric A, one side fabric B
