In ESX4, you can use multipathing to increase bandwidth. In my home test lab, I have 2 active path between initiator and target and I'm getting 250MB/s, if I add one more path, I can get 375MB/s and so on. Don't bother with LAG, it doesn't work the same way. In LAG, point to point is limited to single interface speed. I don’t know what version of ESX your client is using.

I am interested in using vmware and isci - but the lack of speed on databases seem to be the same as w/ the openvz stuff over isci hmmm - i just think virtualization all together for mySQL is the mistake Awesome amount of information in here –
