Vmotion&vCenter Vs Service Console. ESX 3.5 VC2.5

Does vMotion need to be in the same vSwitch as the SC or the second SC for it to work? I was thinking they dont need to be.

Also vCenter is in the same physical subnet as my SC on (vSwitch0). Is DNS name of the ESX hosts and Vitual Machine port in vSwitch0 the only requirement for ESX to be added to VC?

the SC and Vmotion dont need works in same Vswitch (the recommends it separate).

you ESX Host need a register in DNS with FQDN to add in VC corretly

OK?

Can some one point me to some white papers or kb articles on VMotion/SC/ service console config?

Take a look at Chapter 15 of the Basic System Administration guide. Not sure what version you are on but the link is for u2 and later

I have several NICS on the ESX server. I can either assign one PNIC or two PNICs for VMotion. What is the recommedation by Vmware and why?
