ProCurve 5400 and ProLiant Load Sharing

[rumpelzeinchen]

Hey there.

I have been searching and reading for hours  and I am still not sure if there is the plain possibility of doing this.

Setup is: HP ProCurve 5412 + Proliant DL380p Gen8 with 4 NICs

I need to simply get more than 1Gbit/S throughput to and from one destination/source. It's a backup server and it would be a waste of ressources to operate with just 1G Streams.

I thought the right way to do this would be enabling SLB on the NCU at the server and configure a simple trunk on the switch. Tests show bad performance. I don't find a "server trunk group" feature on the switch configuration.

If they are 1Gb interfaces, you can only get less than 1Gb throughput.

Get some 10Gb modules/interfaces.
