I am not really sure if it can work that way with no issues are we have different pool config.   So just to clarify, you are looking to use (from node1): a) 10gige-agg-1 (which represents the aggregate of: 10gige-1 and 10gige-2) with a link aggregration protocol of LACP in pool0? - Of course, the switch will be configured to support this  b) Then, add 10gige-1 and 10gige-2 *individually* (no link aggregation) so that they each get a separate IP in pool1?   While you can definitely use the same interface (from the same node) in more than one pool, you should consider the following:  1) If in pools from different subnets, use the same MTU In fact if you were to assign for example  a) MTU of 1500 in subnet0 and assign 10gige-1 to subnet0:pool0 b) MTU of 9000 in subnet1 and assign 10gige-1 to subnet1:pool1,  you'd get the following error message:  "When the MTU for the subnet does not match the MTU in use on the designated interface, the lower MTU will be used and packets may be dropped."  [IMAGE]  Note though, if the same MTU were used in the different subnets (and added the same interfaces to multiple pools) you would not get this error.   2) To use the same interfaces in different subnets the only way this could work is using VLAN Tagging. Simply added here to remind you to define the VLAN ID in the subnet properties within OneFS.   Specific to your inquiry and proposed setup though  3) You should consider using the same link aggregation for the same interfaces when used in multiple pools.   Remember, the ports will have a matching switch configuration so if the port group is defined on the switch with LACP, you will want the same on the setup for the corresponding Isilon interfaces.
