VC Load balancing

[KSF]

Hi,

With the following config what is the best way to achieve load balancing across the two vNets to ensure best utilisation? At present DATA1 gets hit first and hardest.

- Configuration at the Cisco switch level?
- Profile ordering of vNets?

VC NETWORK CONFIGURATION

Name: DATA1
Type: Ethernet network
Ports: Bay 1 port X2 (active -> switch 1)
Bay 2 port X2 (passive -> switch 2)
Connection Mode: Failover
Smart Link: Enabled

Name: DATA2
Type: Ethernet network
Ports: Bay 6 port X2 (active -> switch 2)
Bay 5 port X2 (passive -> switch 1)
Connection Mode: Failover
Smart Link: Enabled

Each server profile has both DATA networks 1 & 2.

Port trunking is enabled at the Cisco switch to present the same set of multiple VLAN's over each port.
