ESXi5 Switch Configuration

$

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
