iSCSI with LAGG & VLANS

[thakk]

Good Morning,

First post. I have purchased some Supermicro servers for my home lab.
I have 2 SYS-E200D servers with 10G on them. These are my 2 ESXI hosts.
I have 1 Supermicro Xeon D-1518 4-Core Mini 1U Rackmount w/Dual Intel 10GbE, RS-SMX104C4N with 4 2TB 2.5" hard drives in it to be my iSCSI datastore.
I have all of this plugged into a DLink DXS-1210-12TC 10G switch. I plan on using the 10G ports for iSCSI and the 1G ports on a separate switch for regular ESXI.

I created the LAGG groups for the 4 switches. The 2 1G ones are lagg0 and the 2 10G ones are lagg1.
I have lagg0 on vlan10 and plugged into a trunk port on my switch.
I have lagg1 on vlan250 and plugged into a trunk port on the other switch.

Is this the right way to set this up? I was sort of basing it off of the way I configured my esxi hosts. They just plug into trunk ports and then I set the management vlan to vlan 10 to access them.

Did you decide upon a solution for this?

Hello,

Yes, thsi is what I wound up doing for the time being.
I was in a rush to get this lab online because I needed it for a project and I will have it back in another week.
I will be able to tune it after I am done.

It seems to run decently, although I wonder if I can use the 10G links for vmotion rather than the 1G links.
I don't know if that will saturate the 10G that the storage uses.
