Thanks Tim for posting

 

I assume this is the Distribution Function policy from IP to Port

 

Will it make a difference on only 6 hosts ?

 

Regards

 

Andrew

FYI, when you have LOTS of clients, you have better distribution from the NetApp using "port" instead of IP

Yes thanks to John, I went away and had a look at configs, and yes Michael correct, the LAG was not up across the switches!

I had a rethink, on the MC-LAG between the switches as these use VLT

And I'd left a command out!

So this is, with the correct command

vlt port channel 1

Thanks for the sounding board guys!

Re-test later today against the test-plan, still not sure how it was working before!

On the Dell side, you'd need to configure VLT on the port-channels in order to have both switches participate the same LACP bond.  Assuming they're running DNOS10, here's the link to the config guide:  https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000102901/dell-emc-networking-os10-how-to-set-up-virtual-link-trunking-vlt.

Thanks,
Michael

Ah! I think I see the reason for Partial now


Although, not sure how this is working against the test plan!

And those Down Ports, or though appearing as up on the switches, are on the second switch, so the LACP port channel is not LAG across both switches.

Not with the Dell side, but the Netapp side.

So what's your configuration look like?

We need more details. But start at the bottom. Can you show:


ifgrp show -instance


The key would be to see if the LACP policy agrees on both ends.
