Host nic teaming to upstream Nexus 4001i switches

[andrei.neagoe]

Hi all,

Having a design where an IBM bladecenter has two Nexus 4001i switches and each switch is connected to a Nexus 5k vPC pair, is it possible to configure active-active nic teaming on the hosts (blades) considering that the Nexus 4k switches are unaware of each other and blade has one connection to each 4k over either emulex or qlogic 10G CNA?

Thanks,

Andrei

No, you can only loadbalance on transmit  from the server or be active-passive.
