Ok, maybe 'prefers' was too strong wording :) 

And yeah, I knew you can do multi-subnet, but it seems many are using EQL 
storage
only with a single subnet.

Now let's hope bnx2i works OK with single subnet aswell :)

Not quite.  It supports both single and multi subnet configurations.
(There are some specific rules for multi subnet configurations which are
documented.)

If people don't know of a reason why they should use multi subnet, we
suggest the use of single subnet because it is easier to set up, but
it's a stretch to call that a preference.  And in any case, whatever you
call it, a multi subnet configuration correctly constructed will not
cause problems.

Hi Hannes,

I am seeing similar problems.
What kernel do you mean, that has fixes?
