Hi, a question regards to networking when VSA is deployed. The VMware documentation suggests 4 physical nics for vSphere servers (2 for traffic and 2 for redundancy).
When previosuly installed vSphere I follow the standard set-up and allocate 2 physical nics to vSwitch0, and create portgroups for VMware Management and VMotion traffic. In addition, I use another pair of physical nics for vSwitch1, and create portgroups for VM traffic. Hence, in summary 4 physical nics are used.
The question I have is around the requirement for physical nics for VSA, are the 4 physical nics required in addition to the standard set-up as described above. Can someone confirm a set-up for physical nics, vswitches and portgroups that they have previosuly used and works?
Thanks
