    This is supported now in PowerVC 1.4.4 release, with configuring initiator port groups feature. Thanks again for this suggestion!

    I think this is what port groups already can do in PowerVC 1.4.2

    When you create a custom storage template, you can select a specific set of port for use with your Hitachi G1000. So you can create separate storage templates for separate sets of ports. Now when you deploy an image, you can select your volume on the deploy page and click Edit Template. Change it to the one you want to use for desired balancing, and then deploy using those ports. Does that satisfy this request or can you clarify more on the desired capability?
