> We have a V480 with two FC Gbit cards + the usual onboard [copper] GB
> cards. Our Netbackup traffic is going through the FC Gbit cards [which are
> configured for IPMP failover]. I am suggesting that we utilise the onboard
> cards as well and purchase Sun Trunking 1.3 to bond the FC cards together
> thus doubling the network traffic capabilities to the backup server,
> finally I intend to IPMP [for failover] the FC cards to the copper
> [onboard] NIC's. This is a supported option according to the
> documentation.

> Is there anything specific I should look out for? Does Sun Trunking add
> significant load on the box? Are there any other gotchas I have missed?

> Any info would be appreciated.
