Replication Question

[m.casco]

hi to all!

I have 2 OPEN-E DSS V6, each have this motherboard: SuperMicro X9SCi-LN4F
Now i´m planing to use 2 nics for MPIO but, can i use the other 2 for replication? how?
I have to setup them in bonding?
This is for avoid the bottleneck in the replication.

thanks and sorry for my english!

if you bond 2 nics for the replication link, just use that IP when setting up replication.

but the vrep is gonna do better on direct single link to the other node.

Thanks for reply!!

I just want to know if worth to bond 2 nics, will I have better perfomance than 1 nic in the Replication? or it´s better to configure 3 nics for MPIO and 1 for the replication?

Thanks!!!
