This issue has been solved. See solution.

I plan to backup VMware machines on a 5220 Appliance FW 5.2 using SAN transport mode.

My appliance will be connected in a dual path / dual fabric mode to a HP EVA 6100 to access DataStore.

I do not find any technote about "how to configure multipathing" for this Appliance ?

For Linux SLES, there is some updates to /etc/multipath.conf...

Does anyone know where there is documentation about this ?

NBU Appliance runs Storage Foundation so DMP should take care about this.

But there is a better place to ask this type of questions - the Appliances forum

One more thing, when you zone it via two different paths DMP in majority of cases "just works"
