Re: Proliant Server and Storage forums
I think a lot of the participants here in ITRC are just that. Professionals that work in large Proliant (and HP hardware in general) shops.
I am a consultant and for the past five years have designed and implemented many different Storage Area Networks for Large and Small companies which have included hardware from the Proliant and Storageworks lines as well as IBM's TotalStorage and xSeries lines.
As for knowing of any other places... this is the only once I visit regularly.

Re: Proliant Server and Storage forums
..but here is just one question re: Teaming of the NICs.
We connect all systems to back bone Cisco CAT4000 switches but these switches only have a 1GB up-link between them. To ensure server to server traffic stays on the same switch we set the Team manually to NFT with Preference order with the NIC1 as the primary and all NIC1's are on the same switch.
This works HOWEVER
1. it is a manual step that we need to apply so it is missed a lot of the time
2. sometimes during either driver of NIC management upgrades the team settings change (very annoying)
3. I have a concern if the primary switch connection has intermittent issues then the NICs may flip/flop between the two.
What I want to do is use the Automatic/Automatic setting but also try keep traffic off the 1GB uplink.
Not necessarily looking for a definitive answer - just like to talk about the issue/ setup with fellow professionals to see what others are doing.
What are you oppinios on this?

Re: Proliant Server and Storage forums
However├в ┬ж..if I leave my servers at Auto/Auto then the NICs will talk via both back bones switches and the 1GB link between the two gets saturated. Internally on the switched you have a 36Gbit backbone so it is advantageous to keep the systems talking on the same switch unless a failure occurs and the fail to the other switch.
Although├в ┬жmaybe HP have some setting to make this happen automatically, i.e. keep traffic local at all times and maybe this is an option when using the advanced options in the NIC teaming software that you need to purchases.
Do you understand what I am asking?
