Laura, My understanding per Veritas is that this is not best practice. Veritas round robins through the cards and the slower card could cause problems. I have implemented Vertias successfully but no site I have done has had different card speeds. I did one site with 2 1G cards and 1 100Mb card and we had problems. They remove the slower card and the problems went away. I have seen some Veritas bulletins on disabling fastpath but I don't remember under what conditions. This may have been it but I don't recall.
