Alex,  that is correct, you want to use different pools for different protocols. Here is an example from my cluster  I have two pools in my subnet, one is used for NFS clients (dynamic IP allocation) and one is used for CIFS clients (static IP allocation)  Does it help ?  [IMAGE]
Hi there.  I had a little discussion about configuring the Isilon for SMB access.  What i learned from trainings and white papers is, that i put 1 static IP per node/interface. Config Done! The other opinion was to put 5-20 IPs per node and set SmartConnect Advanced to "Dynamic". As far as i know, "dynamic" is bad for SMB and good for NFS.  So, in the end i am confused and wanted to ask you about your opinions/experience on that.
