I have teamed the onboard GB nics, now I guess my question is:
1. Do I also need to enable Windows Load Balancing?
2. Do I need to create a trunk for these connections in my procurve Switch.
I've read quite a few questions & answers regarding this, but no clear cut yes or no answers :)
Thank you for your time!

Solved! Go to Solution.

trunk 1,2 trk1 lacp
That assumes that the ports 1 and 2 are connected to the server. and you dont have a static trk1 already configured.
Also if you have more than one procurve switch you can use dt-lacp.But lets not run before you can walk.

Re: Proliant Network Teaming - Windows Load Balancing - Procurve Trunking
1) load balancing algorithms in both the host(s) and the switch which include layer four protocol addressing information (ie TCP port numbers)
2) using 10G Ethernet rather than 1G and eschew the whole trunking thing save for HA.
If either the host or the switch cannot include layer four addressing information in the load balancing algorithm you might need to fall-back on:
1a) using multiple IP addresses on the hosts and making certain your multiple connections are spread across those IP addresses
Backing up a bit, and since my forte is more networking than database - it is my understanding that SQL is rather "request response" and not generally bulk throughput. Do you have any stats about the average packet size in/out of your systems serving SQL? Small packet performance may care rather more about stack path length and intra-host load balancing than the bitrate of the link(s) connected to the host.
