Hello,
It's my 1st message on this forum. I hope I will find an answer to my question.
I have 2 NAS, and on one of them, I want to use bonding because I have two NICs.
I've got a switch which is compatible with Link Aggregation, and I've got a Dual Port NIC in my PC.
The hardware :
NAS :
Motherboard Tyan S5372-G2NR LC/LH
8 GB DDR2 ECC FBDIMM
Xeon E5310
Adaptec 31605
The system disk is an 80 GB SATA II Hitachi, plugged on the motherboard
For the storage : 4 WD RED 1 TB, RAID 10
The switch : Netgear GS108T v2
The PC :
The hardware is not important. I've got Windows 7 Ultimate Edition, and the NIC is an Intel (OEM IBM) PRO/1000PT.
I've made an aggregation on the PC between the 2 ports of the NIC, and it's configured as 802.3ad.
On the switch, I made two LAGs : The 1st between the 2 ports which are plugged to the PC, and the second for the 2 cables from the NAS.
On the NAS, it was difficult. Everything I've tried gives no solution. I think I managed to do something OK, but I'm not sure.
I've added a little NIC on which I could access the GUI. And in the network interface, I erased the two integrated NICs to be able to select them for the aggregation. I chose 802.3ad, The adress is static. I applied the modifications, I shot down the NAS, I've unplugged the little NIC, rebooted the NAS, and I can connect to it thanks to the static IP adresse of the bond.
But something is wrong... When I boot, OMV writes on the screen that there is no interface available. When I look at the LEDs on the NICS, only eth0 is blinking (the other is not blinking, as if it was not used).
When I transfer a file of 2 Go for example, I start at 190 MB/s, but its quickly downs to 130, 125, and it never goes above 125...
What am I doing wrong ?
I can answer other questions concerning my configuration if it's necessary.
Thanks in advance for your informations !
W.
