network configuration in a directly attached storage design

Hi There,

I hope this is the right plcae to ask.

I'm currently planning our network desgin for a windows hyperv cluster, our store is a VNX5300. I have already read alot in the guides, best practices but I'm still not sure about our setup.

Actually our the logical desing would look like this:

Some explanations:

- servers are HP G6 Blades in a c7000 enclosure

- bladeswitchs are two virtual connect flex 10 Ethernet switch

- the VNX5300 has 10GbE iSCSI Modules installed

The most approachign desing I found, is a directly attached storage.

Due to the limitations of virtual connect (no Switch Based Loadbalancing) our design looks like if every port of the vnx's iSCSI Modules is connected to a seperate san switch.

My Questions:

1) Im not sure howto configure the subnetworks. My current plan is, to give each server/emc port pair a different subnet. For example:

node1_nic1, node2_nic1 and Port A0 uses subnet 10.30.0.0/24

node1_nic2, node2_nic2 and Port A1 uses subnet 10.30.1.0/24

Can MPIO or PowerPath handle such desgins?

2) Is it possible to team the ports on the vnx's side? THis would halve our needed networks.

3) This is a hyperv specific question, but perhaps someone knows an answer: Is it supported / arguable to put the vswitch over the nics that are used for the cluster's CSV? So I can use the nic for guest VMs on the node aswell as for the node's CSV.

Any further hints or tips are of course welcome

Thanks in advance
