[ovirt-users] oVirt/RHEV and HP Blades and HP iSCSI SAN

[Colin Coe]

Hi Fernando

The network is pretty much cast in stone now.  I even if I could change it,
I'd be relucant todo so as the firewall/router has 1Gb interfaces but the
iSCSI SANs and blade servers are all 10Gb.  Having these in different
subnets will create a 1Gb bottle neck.

Thanks
