what is the maximum number of paths that can be used to send data to the VMFS datastores at any given time?

An administrator is configuring an ESXi 5.x host with two dual-port Fibre Channel (FC)
HBAs. The FC storage array has four active storage processor ports. Zoning is configured
on both fabrics, with ESXi HBA ports and the array ports in the same zone. There are two
LUNs with VMFS datastores configured. Using Round Robin multipathing, what is the
maximum number of paths that can be used to send data to the VMFS datastores at any
given time?

I’d say the correct answer is 8, as in fabric 0 there are 2 HBA initiators and 2 Target HBAs. this makes up 4 paths. On fabric 1 the same applies. So actually 8 paths should be visible.
Someone else’s idea ?
