With the teaming set up on this HP server, what type have you used auto,
nft.

I have found issues talking to our switches if we use the auto setting
on the teamed network ports, but have had no problem with moving them to
use nft.

Currently I have 3 ISA servers running this way.

Regards

Subject: [isalist] Dual Nic'ed HP proliant

http://www.ISAserver.org

Hi,
 
Currently working on a brand new server, it a new HP proliant, quadriple
nic'ed.
 
It's running W3KR2 with all updates to date applied, domain member, all
HP updates for the HP software applied, nic's have the latest firmware
applied. it's using the HP server nic teaming software. ISA2004
installed with all updates to date applied.
 
The Internet connection use 2 gigabit nic's teamed to connect to a  56M
frame relay connection via a watchguard firewall (Let's not get into the
watchguard discussion, I have to work with what the company has in
place) , via cat5e cable.
 
They are 4 separate nic's and not dual ported ones. 
 
The LAN connection uses 2 fibre channel nic's teamed to go to a dual
redundant cisco switch.
 
Before ISA was installed, teaming was working fine, both the internet
and the lan were accessable.
 
After installing ISA, neither the internet or the LAN is accessable,
unless 1 of the teamed nic's is unplugged on both sides. i.e. 1 internet
nic unplugged + 1 lan nic unplugged eerything works like a dream.
 
But plug either or both of the 2 that were unplugged in, and neither the
internet nor the LAN is accessable.
 
Disable the firewall services, and reboot, everything is fine with all 4
NIC's plugged in.
 
HP field service have been twice out replaced the nic's, ran diag's and
they are pointing the finger at the ISA server. Saying it's not
compatable with the HP nic teaming software, but can not point out any
documentation to support this. Searching the internet also drew a blank.
 
The company configured the server using the proliant configurader, so I
am assuming that everything is compatable, and the field service people
responded in the afermative, when asked is everything compatable.
 
Does anyone have any experience or suggestions on this ??
 
Glenn
