Redundancy and Multi switch link aggregation?

Hi All

I just cant seem to find any really good white papers on this at all.

I want my hosts to be 10GB all the way and was planning on using Cisco 4900M switches but on further investigation they do not have the capabilty of Multi Switch Link Aggregation so 2 seperate switch paths cannot be combined into one etherchannel.

I could have 2 completly seperate switch networks and 2 different IPs on the storage and get over the issue that way but then I think that will cause me issues with NFS.

In an ideal world I want to have load balanced 10GB NICs on my host across 2 different routes to the same Storage IP but I am struggling to find the right bit of Cisco Kit to do it and configuration.

There are ways around using 2 routes as I have mentioned but can anyone point me to a document/s that show solutions like the one I want and give the hardware versions used??

Thanks in advance
