For a network design, I am proposing three separate networks with corresponding virtual switches;
There are 8 physical nics available on the ESX host.
Managment Network - 2 nics teamed. One port onboard one port on pci card.
Virtual Machine Network - 2 or more nics teamed. One port onboard one port on pci card.
VMotion Network - 1 active nic, 1 stand-by nic. One port onboard one port on pci card.
A few questions.
Can VMotion take advantage of nic teaming for increase bandwidth?
If I want to design a seperate backup network for the guest OS, should this be part of a port group on the Virtual Machine network, then mapped to a physical port?
Thanks, -Jeff
