I'm reading a NSX Design Guide. I'm trying to understand below table especially in context with Racks diagram.
The Guide suggests that all L2 should be terminated in ToR. However I observed nodes are spread across Racks.
In this case, if VM needs to be vMotion between the Racks, it has to go through L3 is it right?
Referring above table, I understand I have to create following VLANs and I have to enable routing between these segments except VXLAN
Compute Cluster A | Rack 1 (ToR) | Rack 2 (ToR) |
---|---|---|
Management VLAN 100 | 10.100.1.x/24 | 10.100.2.x/24 |
vMotion VLAN 101 | 10.101.1.x/24 | 10.101.2.x/24 |
VXLAN VLAN 102 | 10.103.1.x/24 | 10.103.2.x/24 |
The thing I finding hard to absorb is the vMotion subnet? vMotion subnet for hosts in Rack1 and Rack2 is different. It means vMotion traffic will be routed? is it correct? I know it is supported but it was not recommend. Has the recommendation changed?
