I have two servers with 5 1Gbps NICs on each. Should I use NIC Teaming for Sync and iSCSI? My Plan is:

1 NIC for LAN + ClusterNetwork + Heartbeat
1 Team NIC (from the other 4 NICs) for Sync and iSCSI

Thank you.

Hi,

Please follow this tech paper: http://www.starwindsoftware.com/styles- ... ctices.pdf

Long story short: you are welcome to use NIC teaming, but sync and iSCSI traffic should be separated.
