Best Failover for Force10 S4820T & Servers/iSCSI
Installing a couple of Force10 S4820T's and would like a bit of advice before installing them.
Switches setup as stacked with the 40gig ports 52-->60, with proper cables
Vlan 1 (LAN) no modifications yet, all servers LAN connections will go here - i'll assume i'll have to add the ports 0-23 to it and set switchport & no shutdown
Vlan 2 (iSCSI) ports 24-47 (untagged, switchport, no shutdown) all server iscsi connections will be here (eql ps4210)
Looking for redundancy/fail over, and on the vlan 2 ports do i need to do anything for Jumbo Packet 9014 etc
TIA

Hi,
Which OS version are you using? Page 805 shows how to set the mtu for the port https://dell.to/39uwxXD Page 998 has some other iscsi optimizations that you may want to use.

9.14.1.8.9.2 is newer. The way we number is a little confusing, it is nine dot fourteen.

I'm having problems upgrading the firmware, I've downloaded every version of ftos & both bootcodes
tried via usbflash: & tftp: & copied to flash: and still won't
Command: upgrade system usbflash: A: (or B or stack)
Prompt for filename: FTOS-SE.9.3.0.1.bin
Results: "Failed to open the source file to read"
I got to be missing something simple here, ideas?
TIA
Jim..
