I don't recommend setting up the filer NICs as a vif. We tried that initially and had beaucoup performance problems. Instead give each NIC its own IP. Unless you have a really good reason not to, connect each NIC to a separate switch.
On the client, give each NIC a separate IP and set up MPIO to connect each NIC to both filer IPs. If possible put all iSCSI NICs (filer & client) on a separate VLAN.
Btw, what's the best way to configure fault tolerant networking with NFS? I guess the MPIO-style multipathing is not possible, so is it two lacp vif's (same switch) configured as single mode vif (separate switches)?
