Hi,
An overview of where I am currently at.
2 hosts with 6 NIC's each.
2 NIC's on vSwitch0 which has vMotion and Service Console
2 NIC's on vSwitch1 Production LAN
2 NIC's on vSwitch2 DMZ Lan
Now I am at a point where I want to expand to 4 hosts, however the 2 hosts I want to expand onto only have 4 NIC's available (Blades)...
I figure I have two options here, either keep my 2 NIC redundancy but make each server single purpose, or drop the redundancy and make each server the same as above but with only 1 NIC on vSwitch1 and vSwitch2 (What do people think?)
What I was thinking was option 1 dedicating one to DMZ LAN and one to Production LAN. So I will set up...
2 NIC's on vSwitch0 which has vMotion and Service Console
2 NIC's on vSwitch1 Production LAN for server 3 and DMZ LAN for Server 4
Question is, if server 1 and 2 fail, will VMware move all the Production LAN boxes onto Server 3, and the DMZ LAN boxes onto Server 4, or will it try to move them all randomly and I have failures?
