      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;I have 3 hosts with each 2 x RJ-45 10gbit free I'd like to use for vMotion. I have no 10gbit hardware switch, so I need to connect them directly. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;How do I best accomplish this?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Yes they are all joined to a cluster in vCenter.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;I have management network in a single vswitch on a single 1gbit uplink to 1gbit switch.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I have VMs in a single vswitch on a single 1gbit uplink to 1gbit switch.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;vMotion also in single vswitch with 1gbit uplink to 1gbit switch.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;So management, VMs and vMotion resides in each their own vswitch separated by VLAN in the hardware switch.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;vMotion looks like this:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Host 1: vSwitch1:vmkernel vMotion: vmnic3: 172.16.0.1&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Host 2: vSwitch1:vmkernel vMotion: vnmic3: 172.16.0.2&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Host 3: vSwitch1:vmkernel vMotion: vmnic3: 172.16.0.3&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I tried to add vmnic6+7 to vswitch1 and remove vmnic3, and then inter-connected all the 3 hosts directly, but vMotion then fails.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;vMotion has already been disabled on the management vSwitch, and runs separately.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I would like to get the throughput of the 10gbit ports, so connecting them to the 1gbit hardware switch will only get be 1gbit - however it is supported.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I'm more concerned with the config of the vmkernel.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I don't understand why adding the 10gbit RJ45 ports to the vMotion switch and connecting them all together doesn't work.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;So perhaps I need to do a vSwitch with a vmkernel vMotion for each vmnic with each its own IP?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>
