Dell powerconnect 5540 with ISCSI SAN question

Hi,

I'm new in this forum.

Is someone can help me on VLAN and optimization configuration for our VMWare solution.

We bought a new Dell Powerconnect 5548 switch for our infrastructure.

This is for a little infrastructure of two VMWare ESX 4.1 server link to an Iomega PX12-350R ISCSI SAN and a backup server Windows 2008R2.

VMWare Server #1 have 5 NICs (2 for LAN, 1 for VM service console and two for ISCSI Connection)

VMWare Server #2 have 5 NICs (2 for LAN, 1 for VM service console and two for ISCSI Connection)

SAN Iomega PX12-350R have 4 NICs (1 for console and three for ISCSI connection)

Backup server Win2k8R2 have 4 NICs (2 for LAN and 2 for Veeam Backup over SAN network)

 

I want to use 12 ports (VLAN2) for my ISCSI LAN and 36 ports for my production LAN. We will buy a second one with same configuration to split network traffic.

 The reason why we want to do it like this is to be able to use maximum of ports. We only need 12 ports in each of switch for ISCSI. We don't want to lost all other ports.

Here is what we did:

Create a VLAN1 for LAN Production: Port 13-48 (Layer2 - Access mode) 10.133.160.x

Create a VLAN2 for SAN network. Port 1-12 (Layer 2 - Access mode) 192.168.160.x

 

I had configured a second IP address for the VLAN2.

We also activate ISCSI Optimization. (Jumbo frame enable) ...

 

Is someone can tell me if it's a good configuration or not.

 

Thank you !
