Can vSAN support network aggregation?

[osido]

Hi All,

For vSAN, we have 2 x 10GbE NIC per server and want to have 20GbE bandwidth through network aggregation.

No sure if vSAN (6.7 U3 or later) can support network aggregation or not.

In my study, what I can find is "If you use NIC-Teaming, then vSAN will only use it for high availability, and not for the aggregated bandwidth" by Google. Is it still ture?

Thanks & Regards.

Hi Depping,

Thanks!

According to vSAN Network Design v7.0 U1, "multiple network connections in parallel to increase throughput and provide redundancy",

I think network aggregation is supported in vSAN.

Yes indeed.
