Hello,
You do not need a secondary vSwitch to get this to work. To get redundancy for the SC, just add another pNIC to the vSwitch it is on. I.e.
2 pNIC for SC on vSwitch0. Each pNIC going to different pSwitches
2 pNIC for vMotion on vSwitch1. Each pNIC going to different pSwitches
etc.
More than one vSwitch for the SC will not really affect HA much, but it is a bit of overkill and means you have to maintain more IP for the SC.
