Virtual Connect, multiple LOM to same ethernet network
Hi,
We have one C7000 with two VC Flex-10. It has two 10Gb LAN access 10Gb uplinks and one 10Gb iSCSI uplink per VC.
I would like to add 4 NIC's to each blade for iSCSI. But i'm not allowed to add more than one Ethernet network instance to a blade. I'm also unable to create a second ethernet network with the same VLAN. So i'm stuck....
So i would like:
Lom1:a: 5Gb / Production & Management
Lom2:a: 5Gb / Production & Management
Lom1:b: 2Gb / vMotion
Lom2:b: 2Gb / vMotion
Lom1:c: 1.5Gb / iSCSI
Lom2:c: 1.5Gb / iSCSI
Lom1:d: 1.5Gb / iSCSI <= not allowed
Lom2:d: 1.5Gb / iSCSI <= not allowed
Any idea's how i an achieve this?

Re: Virtual Connect, multiple LOM to same ethernet network
The equallogic storage array's have no more then 1Gb interfaces. So our toughts are more NICS are better then only two with high bandwidth. Incorrect ?

Re: Virtual Connect, multiple LOM to same ethernet network
My two cents would be to use two connections and set them at 2Gb each (that way you lessen the chance of overloading your uplinks) and bump them to 3Gb if you need to.

Re: Virtual Connect, multiple LOM to same ethernet network
if your bandwidth bottleneck is on array side, then have 2 3G NICs vs. 4 1.5G from a blade shouldn't make any difference. no any single or aggregate sessions can exceed 1G.
The reason of you can't config ":d" with the same iSCSI vnet name is that VC doesn't allow you config the same vnets off flex NICs within one physical 10G port because you already configured the same name in ":c" flexnic.
but I'll say just make 2 3G NICs for iSCSI.

Re: Virtual Connect, multiple LOM to same ethernet network
Ok, thank you for clearing this. I will go forward and do some testing with the 2x 3Gb setup.
