I'm hoping somebody can verify my logic on how MPIO works with aoe/ vblade. If an aoe target machine exported a file using a command like
vbladed 0 0 eth0 /path/to/file and repeated this process using the same file to broadcast on a second ethernet port: vbladed 0 0 eth1 /path/to/file On the initiator with 4 ethernet ports we would see: e0.0 xyzGB eth0,eth1,eth2,eth3 up The results are what I expected: In my write tests, I see traffic balancing on interfaces eth0-3. On the target side, traffic flows on eth0-1 in what appears to be a round- robin manner. On killing a single vblade, the throughput is almost cut in half after aoe sees it as down. My question then is, can corruption occur when having two vblades running for the same file or is this the recommended MPIO method or are there better solutions (this ones seems great to me)? -- Matth Ingersoll <ma...@digitalwest.net> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Open Source Business Conference (OSBC), March 24-25, 2009, San Francisco, CA -OSBC tackles the biggest issue in open source: Open Sourcing the Enterprise -Strategies to boost innovation and cut costs with open source participation -Receive a $600 discount off the registration fee with the source code: SFAD http://p.sf.net/sfu/XcvMzF8H _______________________________________________ Aoetools-discuss mailing list Aoetools-discuss@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/aoetools-discuss
