Adding a vmnic to a vSwitch via esxcfg-vswitch

[rrosenkoetter]

The default install of ESX 3.0.1 creates vSwitch0 for the Service Console using vmnic0

I try to add a second nic to this vSwitch for redundancy using the command

esxcfg-vswitch -L vmnic1 vSwitch0

It adds the vmnic1 but it adds it as stand by. How can I use the command line to create an Active/Active team?

Hello,

You don't have a VI client to add it from? I am not sure there is a command for that.

Don't know if this is correct but may be a place to start ...

/etc/vmware/esx.conf

/net/vswitch/child\[0000]/teamPolicy/uplinks\[0000]/pnic = "vmnic0"

/net/vswitch/child\[0000]/teamPolicy/uplinks\[0001]/pnic = "vmnic1"
