Two things off the top of my head after skimming the given details:
1. iSCSI will work better without the bond. It already uses multipath, so
all you need is to separate the portal IPs/subnets and provide separate
IPs/subnets to the iSCSI dedicated NICs, as is the recommended way here:
https://access.redhat.com/solutions/131153 and also be sure to follow this:
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Virtuali...
2. You haven't mentioned anything about jumbo frames, are you using those?
If not, it is a very good idea to start.
And 3: since this is RHEV, you might get much more help from the official
support than from this list.
Hope this helps

Hi all
We run four RHEV datacenters, two PROD, one DEV and one TEST/Training.
They are all working OK but I'd like a definitive answer on how I should
be configuring the networking side as I'm pretty sure we're getting
sub-optimal networking performance.
All datacenters are housed in HP C7000 Blade enclosures. The PROD
datacenters use HP 4730 iSCSI SAN clusters, each datacenter has a cluster
of two 4730s. These are configured RAID5 internally with NRAID1. The DEV
and TEST datacenters are using P4500 iSCSI SANs and each datacenter has a
cluster of three P4500s configured with RAID10 internally and NRAID5.
The HP C7000 each have two Flex10/10D interconnect modules configured in a
redundant ring so that we can upgrade the interconnects without dropping
network connectivity to the infrastructure. We use fat RHEL-H 7.2
hypervisors (HP BL460) and these are all configured with six network
interfaces:
- eno1 and eno2 are bond0 which is the rhevm interface
- eno3 and eno4 are bond1 and all the VM VLANs are trunked over this bond
using 802.1q
- eno5 and eno6 are bond2 and dedicated to iSCSI traffic
Is this the "correct" way to do this? If not, what should I be doing
instead?
Thanks
CC
