Hi guys,
pheraps I should post this question on Citrix forum but I think that here I
can find a more "practical" answer based on similar infrastructure. :)
I've a CS 4.6 with XS 6.2 clusters and here's my network config:

- Management + Storage: 2 NIC LACP
- Guest: 2 NIC LACP
- Public: 2 NIC LACP

All the "2 NIC" goes to a 2 stack switches with LACP configured.
Now, here (
http://support.citrix.com/servlet/KbServlet/download/38321-102-714737/XenServer-6.5.0_Administrators%20Guide.pdf)
I see:

[...]Management interfaces

You can bond a management interface to another NIC so that the second NIC
provides failover for management traffic. Although configuring a LACP link
aggregation bond provides load balancing
for management traffic, active-active NIC bonding does not.[...]

Ok, great, this is exactly what I need to have.

My issue is: in all XS I see only one NIC to make traffic during Storage
Migration, I'm expecting that with LACP I see both NIC to make traffic, but
this does not happen.

Do you have any experience on this topic?
Since we're migrating to XS6.5 adding a new cluster and moving VM, do you
have a better NIC configuration to suggest?

Thank you very much!
