Setting up LAG with Unraid

[wolfslab]

I have an Unraid server with a 10Gb dual port copper nic inside of it. The Nic works inside of unraid. Currently I have the onboard Nic (eth0) setup just for remote connection so I don't have to do the GUI boot. And eth1 and eth2 are the 10Gb nic. I have a ProSafe XS716T switch as well. I setup the LAG interface inside of the switch I believe. But when I try to enable bonding (802.3ad (4)) on the eth1 nic, the only members that show up are eth1. eth2 does not show up. I have never setup LAG before, so a walk through would be very helpful.

Is your goal to copy files faster? If thats your goal, smb multichannel is probably a better otpion here, and allows one client to copy at 20gb/s aswell.

There can be lots of users hitting the server at once, so I wanted increased bandwidth to make sure there wouldn't be any bottlenecking. There is gonna be at most a small amount of 10Gb clients. Most are gonna be 1Gb clients.

Are you using smb? Smb3 is still normally a better route.

 

Also unraid is known for being slow, so if you want speed id pick a different os and storage system.
