So, if I was hoping for high performance for a news spool on a filer [...] I'd use Gb-ether into an Extreme switch.
Have you actually done this? I have a 720 with Gigabit ether running into an Extreme Summit48 switch via fiber and I have not been able to get it to work. All the preliminary suggestions from NetApp support have failed to get this link up. I had to abandon attempts before I could have a good long debug session with NetApp on the phone due to other projects intruding, but I intend to get back on this in the New Year.
If anyone out there has a filer with Gb-ether linked to an Extreme switch, *please* tell me what you had to do!
Thanks and Merry Christmas!
