Appropriate way to pin to manual sub-group with mac-pinning?

Hi folks,

Working through some specifics on our new 1KV deployment still, and I'm at the point where I have the following scenario:

Two iSCSI VLANs -

93 & 103

Each of these has a single port-profile that my 3 host servers use to create their VMK interfaces. I want to static pin one VLAN to a link, and have the second traverse the second uplink, so I effectively load-balance my iSCSI traffic.

I have 3 port-channels. 1 port-channel per server, 2 member links each:

Port-channel1 = server 1, Gig3/5, Gig3/8

Port-channel2 = server 2, Gig4/5, Gig4/8

Port-channel3 = server 3, Gig5/5, Gig5/8

My question is, can I use sub-group 0 & 1 for each pair of uplinks and specify "pinning id 0" and "pinning id 1" under my common vethernet port-profiles, or do I need to have sub-group 0/1 on po1, sub-group 2/3 on po2, and sub-group 4/5 on po3, and then create separate iSCSI port-profiles for each server that has the correct sub-group pinning ids?

Hope that makes sense. Made my head hurt typing it... just trying to get some clarification on the right way to do this.

Thanks!
