Dear all,
We are after some advise on setting up our new ESX hosts.
We have just purchased 3 new Dell R910's to replace our old 2950 hosts. One thing we are struggling to work out is how to allocate the networking to keep decent performance on iSCSI and networking.
I have attached a diagram on how we have worked out a split which we think will work, but as 2 of these will be replacing 8 hosts we need to make sure it will perform correctly.
We run all the hosts off, Dell Equallogic 2x P6000 1x6500 luns, each with 4 quad port modules (but two modules in standby)
Please could we have some feedback on what the community think will be a good split of network and iSCSI?
We have currently allocated like this:
2 x for heartbeat
2x for standby
9 x for networking
7 x for iSCSI
Best Regards
Ian
