In the Cisco world you need to do etherchannel to get more speed. That's where you combined two or more ports together. I'm sure your fiber switch can do something like this. Not sure you need it though.

Damien, I'm talking Fiber Channel here, not ethernet.
So, if I'm doing multipathing fiber channel, interconnecting two FC
switches allows a particular server the ability to use the paths on the
other switch, too. Yes, it means going through the other switch, but
the extra paths are still there.
