VSA with more than one Virtual NIC
I'd like to implement the following configuration which is something that I have done with other iSCSI vendors, the user guide states than "more than 2 NICs are not supported"
jut double checking with the real gurus :)
The ESX servers are going to only run the VSA, no other type of VMs will be created.
ESX 1 with 4 pNICs
VSA 1 with two vNICs
vNIC # 1: IP subnet 1 --> vSwitch 1: pNIC 1, 3
vNIC # 2 : IP subnet 2 --> vSwitch 2: pNIC 2, 4
ESX 2 with 4 pNICs
VSA 2 with two vNICs
vNIC # 1: IP subnet 1 --> vSwitch 1: pNIC 1, 3
vNIC # 2 : IP subnet 2 --> vSwitch 2: pNIC 2, 4
2 VIPs:
VIP # 1 with ESX 1 IP subnet 1 and ESX 2 IP subnet 1
VIP # 2 with ESX 1 IP subnet 2 and ESX 2 IP subnet 2
Does it make sense ?
Thanks a lot!

Re: VSA with more than one Virtual NIC
Hello,
You can do that.
The VSA only supports 2 vNICs.
I did a similar configuration in my lab.
I understand why you want to do that, to maximize the throughput on the pNICs.
Hardware vendors do this due to the way their controller failover is implemented ( e.g. msa 2012i)
Regards

Re: VSA with more than one Virtual NIC
Your network configuration made sense to me until you say 2 VIPs.
What are you trying to accomplish with using two VIPs in this case?

Re: VSA with more than one Virtual NIC
I'm going to need to VIPs per HP documentation: VSA NIC bonding is not supported in the VSA and VIPs cannot be in the same subnet, I always have done two subnets with other vendors to balance the traffic and facilitate the failover when the iSCSI SW does not have stacking capabilities: it gives you more control. I highly recommend evrybody to read this blogs post from the EMC iSCSI guru Chad about this topic.
