Hi, All

After reading this article

see the deployment details:

it limits the bandwidth to just one link (fail over) rather than 2 GBps which can boost performance.

Out of desperation and stress,
I was thinking to redesign the network all over again from scratch,
instead of having different subnet for each cable would it be better off to perform trunking ?

directly from the ESXi Servers into the SAN to utilize 2x 1 GB Ethernet cable to boost the data performance for the VM without the use of any switch in between the SAN and Servers.
