HI,

This is my first post here, and i need some help from you guys.
At this moment i have in my production environment 2 firewalls Watchguard's M440 and 2 Cisco SG300-52 ports, with support LAN and SAN.
Now we have acquire 2 HP HP V1910-48G Switch's for SAN only, and i need your help to advise, to help me to design the best solution. We have 3 Pool's of server's and 3 Pool's of Netapp's FAS 2xxx with iSCSI and fiber.
The image above, is the best solution that i have reach with full redundancy.
Thanks.

 
Honestly, those are both terrible switches for SAN. They are access switches, not data center switches. They don't have enough buffer on the ports for iSCSI/NFS.
 
Hi, thanks for your replay.
At the moment, this is what i have available.
If i can put to work these solution, then i can justified 4 new switches for our Datacenter.

Good luck. I've seen many, many iSCSI deployments fall completely on their face by using switches that weren't meant for it. These work fine in my lab (Have a SG300 and HP1910) but not for what you want. You WILL have problems.
 
Well, I guess it will fail depending on load so how much data are you pushing?

@ All
While it might not be the best possible solution you can try to advice he/she/it how to deal with it the best way possible. That said, I've run quite a few network solutions on "this is a bad idea hardware"-comments on this forums without issues even though it might not be optimal.

Running NETAPPs on access switches? I'm sure they can afford a proper storage switch. For homelab? Sure, I use a Juniper 4200 for iSCSI with no issues. For a business with more serious SAN needs? An access switch will give him grief.
 
Hi,

Thanks for your reply's, i have talk to my administration, and we are going to acquire 2 new HP FlexFabric 5700 only for SAN.
The diagram above, give us redundancy and high availability or it need to be change?
