Newbio...(aren't we all?) - MP-iSCSI-expansion ?

Hi there,

Sorry if Im asking unusually stupid, beeing new here and all.

Got a lab (so far) test setup with MultiPath working with 2 servers and a iSCSI infortrend storage.

Right now, I've been using 2 NIC's for iSCSI through the CLI with jumboframes, flowcontrol,etc

and all is (finally) working well. The simple question for the day is; is it possible to change/expand the setup

to create additional bandwidht for the storage net with the existing "design" intact ?

Server 1 today - 2 Nic's (for storage/iSCSI)

A- 10.10.10.21

B- 101.10.20.21

Server 2 today - 2 Nic's (for storage/iSCSI)

A- 10.10.10.22

B- 101.10.20.22

Infortrend box; 4 nic's

10.10.10.51

10.10.20.51

10.10.10.52

10.10.20.52

Having one nic unused still in each server, is it possible to simply add that for iSCSI by simply using an additional

ip-address in the existing range ?, or do I have to change the setup so that 3 subnet's are used to activate it ?

Thanks in advance !
