HA setup for 2x5120EI 48-ports and Netapp FAS2240

[Damir I.]

Hello,

I have 2x5120 48-port, 2-slots switches with 10GbE stack on the back. Have also FAS2240, dual contoller, each controller has 4x1GbE.

What would be best way to set it up for HA between switches and netapp? On top of this would be vmware 5.0 Ess+ Edition. This is our first setup with IRF switches as well as with Netapp and I am now trying to get as info as I can in order to make it happen quick.

Thank you,
Damir

Never used it with NetApp. But with HP P4000 i use Link-Aggreation, flow-control and fixed interface-speed. Works great.

I think netapp is the same.
