You should cable each filer to each switch in lacp config as opposed to each filer being directly connected to a single switch in a port channel.   4 x 10g LACP for CIFS is probably overkill, but if you have the ports then why not...   A dedicated LIF per volume is advantageous, however, it can become cumbersome to manage when you have lots of volumes..   You should always at least seperate protocols with VLANS. Sperating datatstore and DB is better practice than not doing it. ... View more
