I have a freenas box with 5 NICS, and a ESXI 5.1 server with 4 nics. Currently I have the ESXI box setup with two vSwitches, 1 with 2 NICS for iSCSI and 1 with the other 2 for admin/vmotion. My freenas just has 5 nics all with different IPS, I tried setting them up with different subnets, but that doesn't seem to work with ESXI
I have MPIO setup on the ESXI box, but I'm not seeing the performance I'm expecting, about 50mb read and write. If I connect the iSCSI to my Win 7 im seeing 110mb on both.
Also my the TX on the freenas box looks to be coming from only 1 NIC.
