Re: Best Practice for connecting NAS Storgae

It's not a best practice configuration to run management and NAS connections on the same NICs. Ideally, more NICs for the NAS iSCSI connections are the ideal solution.

With the current hardware, the best you could do is set up is with separate VLANS for management traffic and NFS/iSCSI traffic.

And setting them in corresponding standby pairs

Management - Active on NIC0 and Standby on NIC1

NFS iSCSI - Active on NIC1 Standby on NIC0
