HI Shawn, thank you for your reply.
Do you mean, that each of iSCSI port (from A1 to B4) should be in it's own vlan/subnet?
A1 10.10.1.1. A2 10.10.2.1, A3 10.10.3.1, A4 10.10.4.1, B1 10.10.5.1, B2 10.10.6.1, B3 10.10.7.1, B4 10.10.8.1
I'm using Veeam Backup&replication to do the backups. As far as I know it does not care about underlying network, as long as OS can connect them.
I have two vdisks in p2000, and they are the ones that show in disk manager. I have no replication configured in P2000, it's a standalone device.
I have not noticed caching before I installed MPIO, so I kinda assumed it's somehow related to that. I have dual xeon cpus and 48gigs mem on backup server, and it has no additional roles, so resources should be adequate.
With two nics on backup server, two vdisks on the P2000 ("active" backup and backup archive), what would be the best practice to configure nics? I'm backing up a vmware cluster which is in the 192.168.100.0 network.
