    Hi

    Working with a new IBM NAS (5500). I don0t know anything about configuring NAS enviroments in AIX. Could you please give me some advice or links with best practices in configuration os such devices?

    AFAIK NAS devices are NFS mount points in UNIX servers so i think Etherchannel (in order to get load-balancing and fault-tolerance) is recommended, what else ??

    Thanks in advanced
