Good Afternoon,
I would just like to clarify the best way to configure the management and vmotion networks in ESXi5.
Basically, is it okay to create a virtual switch as below:
- vSwitch0: 2 Physical NICs (vmnic0 and vmnic1)
- 2 Portgroups (Management Network and vMotion VMkernel) - (both on different vLANS)
- Management Network active on vmnic0 and standby on vmnic1
- vMotion VMkernel active on vmnic1 and standby on vmnic0
- Failback set to No
Or is it best practice to create a separate vSwitch purely for the managment traffic, and a vSwitch purely for the vMotion traffic?
Any advice in respect to this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
