Dear All, In the process of implementing a new CS advanced zone (4.9.2), I am wondering about the best network architecture to implement. Any idea / advice would be highly appreciated.
1/ Each host has 4 networks adapters, 2 x 1 Gbe, 2 x 10 Gbe 2/ The PR Store is nfs based 10 Gbe 3/ The sec Store is nfs based 10 Gbe 4/ Maximum network offering is 1 Gbit to Internet 5/ Hypervisor Xen 7 6/ Hardware Hp Blade c7000 Right now, my choice would be : 1/ Bound the 2 gigabit networks cards and use the bound for mgmt + public 2/ Use 1 10Gbe for storage network (operations on sec Store) 3/ Use 1 10 Gbe for guest traffic (and pr store traffic by design) This architecture sounds good in terms of performance (using 10 Gbe where it makes sense, redundancy on mgmt + public with bound). Another option would be to bound the 2 10 Gbe interfaces, and use Xen Label to manage Storage and guest on the same physical network. This choice would give us faileover on storage and guest traffic, but I am wondering if performances would be badly affected. Do you have any feedback on this ? Thanks all. Best Regards. --- Grégoire Lamodière T/ + 33 6 76 27 03 31 F/ + 33 1 75 43 89 71
