Hi all,

my question is very simple, yet I could not find a definite answer
so far.

What do you consider as the best practice when setting up SRSS in a
multi-NIC gigabit server ?
Take for instance the trusty V240 which has 4 Gb NICs.
And I mean "best" as in "most efficient" - "best performance" - "least
payload" - "best practice", in short ;)


A) using only one NICE -> the same NIC for SRSS traffic and non-SRSS
traffic (NFS & such)
In this case, SRSS would be configured with "utadm -A bge0"

B) using first NIC (bge0) for NFS & co and
third NIC (for instance-bge2) for SRSS-only traffic
In this scenario, I'd set up two separate port-based LANs
on my switches and configure SRSS with "utadm -a bge2"

C) same as B but don't bother with VLAN

D) two physical networks, separated one from another
bge0 on first switch that'll do NFS&co,
bge2 on second switch that'll do SRSS only

and I mean a recent instance of SRSS - SRSS4.1 over S10-0805 ?

Thanks !
