Hi, I would like to know if this is : 1: Possible 2:recommended
3: How is this done? Can I use a private IP only available to the ESX Servers(which is not known to the network) i.e. 192.168.24.24 while still having the SC on a production network? Will i have to Make both ports trunk ports and create separate port groups for a vmotion and SC specifying the vlan ID?
Any input would be appreciated.

Thanks for your reply. I think I got all the info i need. Would you happen to know if this config is recommended by Vmware?
Hello,
Yes it is recommended by VMware. From a security and performance perspective it is the best combination of networks.
