Re: Best practices for iSCSI configuration

$

After reading all the articles and some ofthe white papers, the following is the configuration that I am thinking (Assume that my Broadcom card has nic ports assigned as eth0 through eth3 and Intel card has ports assigned as eth4 through eth7):

 

vSwitch0 --> eth0, eth4 (for managment and vMotion in Active/Stanby configuration). Let's say I will use VLAN 100 for management and VLAN 101 for vMotion

 

vSwitch1 --> eth1, eth2, eth5, eth6 (for iSCSI connection to the storage in Active/Active configuration) -- VLAN 102

 

vSwitch2 --> eth4, eth7 (for running VMs in Active/Active configuration) -- VLAN 103

 

Will that configuration works?

 

There are also some questions that I can;t find answers for: since i am using Broadcom and Intell NICs, would that cause problem with iSCSI? Also how would I need to handle issue with multipathing?

 

Serge
