NIC Teaming
What is my best option in this situation? Would Transmit Load Balancing give me more throughput? Please advise.

Re: NIC Teaming
with couple of Cisco CAT6509E
So I have 3 NICs remaining for the team. With NICs connected to separate switches I donâ t seem to have an option for switch-assisted load balancing.
<<<
within the same switch you have so allready you can for 2 NIC's.
Look at cico's VSS (expensive but nice...).
yo can add this to the 6509's so they combine to a "single" switch, and make all three NIC's work together..
are all serverslots occupied or can you add more NIC's?
where do you backup-to?
if it's so crucial, do not backup over the normal network but a dedicated (fiberchannel ? port).

Re: NIC Teaming
switch-assisted load balancing can be active on the two nics connected to the same switch, with the third as failover link.
If you want more without adding hardware, you may consider connecting the third nic also to the same switch.
Your redundancy is already covered by using a cluster configuration, so do you really need each separate clusternode redundantly connected to the network?
You may connect each node trifold to one of the 6509.
another thought may be to connect the third nic on the other switch not in the team, but in a different ip-subnet. So you can utilize load balancing on routing level instead of L2?
as for the backup, you may run into OS limitations concerning disk-i/o instead of network.

Re: NIC Teaming
Number of nodes in the cluster is not even. I am aware of other limits. All other components can provide more throughput and that is why I am asking this question.

Re: NIC Teaming
Only when you configure VSS you can team across the two 6509's.
Only when you use different subnets/vlans, both connections to the two 6509's will be active without VSS.
Both as two different links to the world outside your server, not a single team.
