Hello All,
I am in the process of putting a vSphere replication system together and I have seen a couple of blogs with people saying that they are isolating their vSphere replication traffic from all of there normal vmware traffic.
Is this a normal way of setting vSphere replication up? Or is this a people playing around and then bloging about it?
Thanks for the help!
For large Enterprise installations this can be the way to go by using a combination of dedicated TCP/IP stacks and host uplinks. Steering traffic is also the only option for some enterprises that have to route that traffic across a separate fibre link to their remote site. Let your own requirements dictate how you design your replication network, not the requirements set fourth in someone else's blog article.
Thanks @daphnissov for writing the migration book. Excellent resource.
May I ask one question on it, I just do know if this is the right place for it.
We are migrating using Inter-C-02. Since this is storage vMotion but using FC traffic will it use VMNIC (phy nics) or FC SAN Switches?
That's a good question to ask. It should still use the vmkernel interfaces for vMotion first executing a svMotion and then a vMotion to move the memory contents.
