Adam,
Thanks! That is exactly the answer I was looking for. Please forward this email to your manager regarding the great job you are doing! We need more people like you from NetApp.
Can't say the same thing about quality of NetApp support. The quality seems to have gotten very un-even. I opened a case to try to get an answer and had to spend 20 minutes waiting only to have some inexperienced young guy ask me how I found the documentation. (I did keyword search on NOW) then they inaccurately tell me I should look under V series documentation (I realized afterwards the V-series are the IBM gateway filers?) and then proceed to try to read the manual pages (for the first time) back to me. When I got frustrated and explained that I am looking for best practice instead of someone re-reading the documentation for the first time and trying to interpret to me, he became quite rude! Anyway, NetApp has probably gotten quite big and I can understand some people needing more training but aren't getting it.
Anyway, thanks to you and keep up the good work!
Derek

I don't think you need to go as far as an ipspace to do this. Just only have 1 IP on the interface then assign that IP to the vfiler in question. That should do the trick. To me, the main reason to use different ipspace's is when you multiple private networks (like two 10.x.x.x networks) and you need to differentiate between them.

Just got asked about the best practice regarding dedicating a network interface to a vfiler to increase performance. I searched through NOW site and read some of the documentation and saw that ipspace should do the trick? Is it the best way? So i'd create an ipspace, assign interface to it, ifconfig the interface, then create a vfiler in that ipspace? Is there a way to move a vfiler to a different ipspace later? I didn't see that in the documentation.
Thanks,
