No Vlans. For another $500 I can add a second 10 gb connection to my dss box, but I've already got several thousand into this and don't really want to put more into it if I can help it. For the ammount of servers I have that are going to connect to this, direct connections to the dss box was cost prohibitive. It was cheaper to buy the switch.

This morning I since realized that I wasn't comparing apples to apples when I was testing speeds either. I was using a 10 gb file on one server and a 120 on the other. Once I was using both 10 gb files on both servers, I notice they were actually pretty close to the same. However, it isn't consistent. One minute I can copy the file in about 15 seconds, the next it takes a couple of minutes.

I do have a ticket open with open-e so I am going to have them give my system a good one over and make sure it is configured right.
