Off Topic - Dual Port Nic's

Todd,

As you might know, report builder reports are very cpu intensive on the
workstation, not really on the server, so the difference there was not
noticeable. No, the difference we saw was for cad and 3d where the exchange
of data is more significant, and our engineering department is the one that
benefited the most of it.

Richard,

Thanks for the reply. I called CISCO and received the same suggestion and
am currently quoting a dual port card.

Question - Did you see a noticeable performance increase with Vantage when
running packet intensive operations like report writer when you jumped from
-1- cable at full duplex to -2- cables at full duplex ?

Thanks for the info ...

Does anyone have any experience with dual port nic cards ?

I'd like to run 2 cables from my vantage server to my Cisco 2924XL switch
and "Port-Bind" the two cables for 400mhz speed ( full duplex ).

Any ideas ?

Thanks,

Todd Anderson

Hi Todd
We had just that for a while, a dual nic going from the Vantage server to
the 2924XL switch. We used Intel's dual card, with the two ports configured
as a team, and same on the switch, add a group, in the switch visual
management console, made of the two ports where your cables go in.
At the moment we have Gb fibre from servers to switches and we only use the
groups (3 cables) between our two switches because of a problem that occured
with Exchange, InoculateIT and Progress and some driver mess-up but I plan
to use that config again when we get new switches, to link the two servers
with a 400 mbps link for failover with Vinca.

Probably a lot more than you asked for, but that's the whole story.
