Hi! > Looking at this page > https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HighlyAvailableAoETarget > they seem to have made a linux "bond" called bond0 and are telling the AoE > target to use that. This confuses me... > Would it be of any benifit to create a "mode 4" bond and use 802.3ad with ATA > over Ethernet? Or would that be just a waste, when AoE can use the interfaces > directly? ggaoed for example can handle multiple interfaces in the configuration and is designed to deliver highest performance with for example automatically load balancing over several NICs. If you want to use vblade you might be better off using bonding because vblade cannot handle several interfaces in one instance. You'll get another performance penalty when using several instances of vblade listening on different interfaces. I am not sure if LACP enhances performance in your case: I think from one server to the other you will only get 1GBit; for LACP to work as expected you need many-to-many or many-to-one connections. All pakets belonging to a connection will use the same wire. This article has some details: http://serverfault.com/questions/8512/multiplexed-1-gbps-ethernet also Wikipedia has some information on this. Another thing is that you loose the ability of having a redundancy in the switching backend. -- Adi _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
