Alright. Everything is ordered for the upgrade following advice and research. Expected delivery this upcoming Monday. I have looked at a couple hundred diagrams and layouts online and read some best practices papers for iSCSI and VMx. I think this is right but would appreciate a yes or no so i can move forward or go back to reading.
Present layout is ISP to pFsense (firewall DHCP) to an HP v1910 with LAN to 41 clients that are all hosting their own OS but use one iSCSI game drive called CCDisk. The CCDisk server connects to the HP v1910 through an unteamed Intel QUAD pro 1000 NIC and RJ45. So partially virtualized?
Upcoming configuration when the switch and SFP's arrive will be the ISP to the pFsense (firewall DHCP) to an HP 5900 48 10G with LAN out to 41 clients that diskless boot from iSCSI OS and iSCSI game drive called CCBoot. The CCBoot server will connect to the HP 5900 through Intel 10g SFP+ .
Seems all sites say to disable all MS stuff on the NIC and CCBoot says to disable all off loading and flow control on the NIC.
From my inelegant description, do i have this correct? And will i need to disable the same protocols in the HP 5900 switch?
Thanks
