After a lot of researching and imput from people I think I have a decent looking layout for our new virtual enviroment (see attached image for layout). I have 3 EXSi Host each containing 6 physical NICs. This configuration and the diagram below are just for a single EXSi host, all host will be configured the exact same. pNIC 0 will handle Management and pNIC 1 will handle VMotion, they will be configured on vSwitch0. pNIC 2 & 3 will be just VM Network traffic and they will be configured on vSwitch1. pNIC 4 & 5 will handle iSCSI traffic and they will be configured on vSwitch2. All pNICs are configured with a active connection and a standby connection. I have 2 physical switches that will be configured identically. They will be configured with 2 VLANs. VLAN 50 will handle iSCSI traffic and VLAN 60 will handle vMotion traffic. Here is the switch config..
Current configuration:
!
ver 07.0.01cT7e1

module 1 fws1g-24-port-copper-base-module

vlan 1 name DEFAULT-VLAN by port

Any input on the switch configuration would be appreciated!
The EMC SAN unit has two seperate processors, each containg 2 NICs for a total of 4. The SAN will have a connection from each proccesors NIC to each switch (see diagram for clarification).
Alot of this has been a learning curve for me, any input on the setup would be great!
Thanks
