DataDomain link aggregation 10GbE part II

After reviewing DDOS 4.9 Initial Config Guide, link aggregation on 10GbE is not supported.  DDOS 4.9 only supports link aggregation on 10GbE for 1 GbE.  This is confirmed by support as well.

"The 10 Gb-to-10 Gb interface does not support link aggregation. Only 1 GbE ports are supported."

Only failover will be supported on 10GbE for DDOS 4.9 and 4.8.  However, do consider the following before configuring failover.

• 10 GbE copper-to-10 GbE copper ports across Intel NICs can be
combined for failover (but not for link aggregation).
• 10 GbE optical-to-10 GbE optical ports can be combined for
failover (but not for link aggregation).
• 10 GbE failover across Intel NICs is supported.
