scripted Installation ESX Server 3.5 NIC Teaming - active Adapters

hi all,

i´m running four esx servers 3.5.0 and i´m looking for the command line parameter to activate all NICs after the scripted Installation is finnished.

Right now only one NIC is active on one of my vSwitches and the three other NIC are in Standby Mode.

I can change the NIC Settings at Virtual Infrastructur Client 2.5, under Configuration/ Network / Virtual Switch Settings / Properties / under NIC Teaming but i need this Settings done at the scripted Installation.

All Network Adapters must be active adapters for all Portgroups.

the relevant Part of my esx001.cfg :

......

#Create a vSwitch

/usr/sbin/esxcfg-vswitch -a vSwitch1

#Add Portgroup

/usr/sbin/esxcfg-vswitch -A Portgroup_123_12 vSwitch1

#Link NICs to vSwitch

/usr/sbin/esxcfg-vswitch -L vmnic2 vSwitch1

/usr/sbin/esxcfg-vswitch -L vmnic3 vSwitch1

/usr/sbin/esxcfg-vswitch -L vmnic4 vSwitch1

/usr/sbin/esxcfg-vswitch -L vmnic5 vSwitch1

#create VLAN at vSwitch

/usr/sbin/esxcfg-vswitch -v 90 -p Portgroup_123_12 vSwitch1

/usr/sbin/esxcfg-vswitch -v 320 -p PG_248 vSwitch1

.....

Thanx a lot for helping me out.

Greetings

Shub
