Hallo Guys,
need some help.
I'm trying to isolate replication traffic using a dedicated network card.
I think I'm doing something wrong.
Hope someone can help.
Scenario
I have single vCenter spread across two sites. Sites are not far from each other. So it is a single Layer2 network. No routing.
We have 2 clusters viz.Cluster-Site-A and Cluster-Site-B
Replication appliance is deployed in the cluster-Site-A with following IP Details
1. 192.168.130.130 (Management IP)
2. 10.10.20.130 (configured as Incoming Storage traffic)
3. 10.10.20.130 ... 104 (VMK IP Configured on 4 ESXi Host )
Additional replication appliance is deployed in the cluster-Site-B
Replication appliance is deployed in the cluster-Site-B with the following IP Details
1. 192.168.130.140 (Management IP)
2. 10.10.20.140 (configured as Incoming Storage traffic)
3. 10.10.20.140 ... 104 (VMK IP Configured on 4 ESXi Host )
I see all connectivity and replication going on. The most strange thing is, traffic is moving across all NICs.
I have configured 2 Nics for VM traffic
I have configured 2 Nics for vMotion and Management
I have configured 1 Nic for vRA (appliance plus VMkernel)
Attached is the reference image.
