Redundant SC

[DanieleFiore201]

Dear all,

i have a strange situation where i have ESX 3.5

1 NIC attached to a vSwitch and service console network : 10.x.x.115 VLAN115

2 NICs attached to a 2nd vSwitch with additonal service console network 10.x.x.116 VLAN116

Well if i try to connnect to any VMs console on that ESX then i cannot having error

If i remove the 2 SC network i have the connection to Vms console

How does it work with the 2 SC ?

I would expect i have 2 SC in same network and VLan and working..

Please help,

Daniele

A redundat SC must be and different network...Seems that you are using the SAME network (10.x.x.0/24)

Hi Andre',

ok but is there a primary SC ? or both are active?
