Strictly speaking SBS only supports a single NIC by design. &nbsp;Having more than one active NIC tends to cause all sorts of issues in my experience.

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
We have a Microsoft SBS 2011 network with an HP Server with 5 NICs, all fully patched.<br />
<br />
We have an iSCSI Drobo for backup that I want on a different range for security/visibility.<br />
<br />
The main network is on 192.168.1.X<br />
If I put the Drobo on 10.0.0.Y the network starts to run slow after a while.<br />
If I disable that NIC sanity is restored.<br />
<br />
Could someone point me in the direction of best/working practice for attaching iSCSIs?

iSCSI conflict (SBS 2011 Server)

Small Business Server (SBS) is a line of server operating systems targeted at small businesses by bundling the operating system with a number of other Microsoft products that would normally need to be purchased or licensed separately. The most notable inclusions are Exchange, SQL Server, SharePoint and ISA/TMG (Microsoft's firewall and proxy server).

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.

Networking

Networking hardware includes the physical devices facilitating the use of a computer network. Typically, networking hardware includes gateways, routers, network bridges, modems, wireless access points, networking cables, line drivers, switches, hubs, and repeaters. But it also includes hybrid network devices such as multilayer switches, protocol converters, bridge routers, proxy servers, firewalls, network address translators, multiplexers, network interface controllers, wireless network interface controllers, ISDN terminal adapters and other related hardware.
