I have a HP server which has a 1Gbps connection to one Nexus 7000 and a second connection to a different Nexus 7000. The TX traffic is saturating the traffic on one link. I want to combine both the 1 Gbps links into a vPC configuration so that the bandwidth is doubled and we also maintain the redundancy.
These are direct connections not using HP VC Flex 10s or Cisco 3020 etc.
I appreciate that HP server will need to be configured to use 802.3ad (Portchannels) and I have configured several vPC configurations on the Nexus 7000 already so I don't have any issues with the Cisco config side.
I need to know what type of teaming I should use on the HP Server:
1. NFT
2. TLB
3. SLB 802.3 ad Dynamic
4. Automatic
5. Dual Channel or Dynamic Dual Channel.
These are detailed at: ftp://ftp.compaq.com/pub/products/servers/networking/TeamingWP.pdf
I would also appreciate any other real world advice or suggestions when setting this up.
thks,
Alan
