Specifically my questions are:
Do we need to setup the SAN using the same network guidance listed in the field guide?
Does the new Distributed switch need to be used?
Are there any documents related to the vSphere and San/IQ somewhere?
Solved! Go to Solution.

Re: vSphere guidance (looking for a field guide for v4)
The only remaining question we have is:
If you are using MPIO, should the nics on the individual LeftHand nodes be bonded or not. Since MPIO is many paths, we thought there might be some benefit to haveing paths from all vSphere NIC's to all Cluster node NIC's.
Do you know if LeftHand will be able to provide a MPIO solution where vSphere/LeftHand can dynamically pick paths (nic's) with little load to help balance the iSCSI LAN traffic?
Thank you,
Kevin

Re: vSphere guidance (looking for a field guide for v4)
Can you provide similar docs for vSphere, EVA4400 and FC?

Re: vSphere guidance (looking for a field guide for v4)
Looks like the guide you posted was for a VI3 configuration with the P4000 SAN whereas the prior attachment was for running vSphere 4 with an HP P4000 SAN.

Re: vSphere guidance (looking for a field guide for v4)
As I stated earlier the guidance is virtually identical to VMware's iSCSI Configuration Guide for MPIO.
The one clarification is that it appears LeftHand supports the Round Robin Path Selection to balance and aggregate bandwidth across multiple nic's. From our testing this is working perfectly and it should allow an individual VM to exceed 1 Gbps of iSCSI traffic.
I am curios if HP/LeftHand have a long term vision to implement a custom MPIO provider that may look at utilization loads per node and per nic and allow vSphere to dynamically shift path selections based on load.
