2 nics on vSwitch

I have a server with 4 nics. nic0 is configured as the ServiceNetwork on the defualt vSwitch and nic1, 2 & 3 on the second vSwitch-Servers. All VMs are configured with vSwitch-Server but I observed that my VMs are not recheable with the combination of nic1, 2, & 3 patched. No problem when only one of the 3 is patched or the combination of two patched nics.

Is there a problem having more than 2 nics on a vSwitch

Hi Topokin,

There is no problem having more than two physical cards attached to a single vSwitch.

Check all your cards one by one. Then verify your Nic teaming policy and vSwitch configuration.

You can find a lot of information there: http://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/virtual_networking_concepts.pdf

Franck
