HA Performance Issues - MPIO Round Robin

[anton (staff)]

How do you have interrupts configured on your gigabit links? Can you replace one of them with the card from another vendor? Say instead of two Intels use Intel + Broadcom (on the same machine I mean).

Not sure how to configure the interrupts on the NICs; I'll need a little more help on that one

I have Intel NICs, and don't have any Broadcom NICs laying around. I did upgrade the drivers at one point thinking that might help. but it has not made an apparent difference.

But I guess I"m confused; why would the NIC would be the issue at this point? If I'm able to drive both the iSCSI NICs on my Hyper-V boxes to 99% utilization using "Round Robin with Subset" it would not be a NIC issue, right? I thought maybe it was an issue with Microsoft's MPIO implementation interacting with StarWind.

Thanks,
Jeff
PS - Did you mean the NICs on the Hyper-V Boxes or the StarWind Boxes?
