BL460c prefer embedded or mezzanine NIC
XenServer 5.5 will be installed and 2 NICs will be teamed for failover.
Is it advisable to team the Embedded NC532i Dual Port NIC or 2 port of the mezzanine NIC?
Any preference or experience?
Thx, Michael

Re: BL460c prefer embedded or mezzanine NIC
I don't think you will find any published results on the failures of the built-in NICs vs. the add-on NICs.

Re: BL460c prefer embedded or mezzanine NIC
The quick specs say that the embedded LAN adapter is on a PCIe x4 bus. The mezzanine slots are PCIe x4 and x8 respectively.
The 4-port LAN card must be connected on the x8 mezzanine. If it is connected on the x4 mezzanine only 2 LAN ports are active. So the ratio is always the same, 2 LAN ports for x4 or 4 LANports for x8. Builtin or mezanine is the same.

Re: BL460c prefer embedded or mezzanine NIC
The embedded NICs on a BL460c G6 are 10Gb capable if they are connected to Virtual Connect Flex10 Modules. Otherwise they run at 1Gb.
