I have a question about the S300 and S550....specifically, why does the 'lower model' S300 have 4 NICs whereas the S550 have only 2?
It seems to me that, using the S550, I cannot do what I want with only 2 NICs. That is:
1. Keep iSCSI traffic separate from the main network by using a separate subnet/vlan
2. Be able to manage the S550 from the main network
3. Configure the 2 NICs in a fault-tolerant fashion
That is, I could do 1 and 2 by specifying e0a and e0b with different addresses but that would preclude 3. Or I could do 3 but I would have to have the management network the same as the iSCSI network.
Am I right or have I missed something?
Thanks
Chris
