Microsoft Server 2008 two node Cluster heartbeat connection

[BaghdadIT]

Good Day All

I am trying to create a Microsoft Cluster Heartbeat connection between two Microsoft Windows 2008 Server VM's on ESXi 6.0, Each node is on a separate ESXi host. I am using Layer 2, so it is just an IP and a mask

10.50.70.14

10.50.70.15

I created a VLAN on the distributed switch on the VM enterprise console of VLAN 470, just like any other, The VM cluster is on an M!000 platform with all blades part of the VM cluster. It has a PassThru 10 gbe Blade for Ethernet connectivity connected to a Pair of Dell 4810s

The VLAN is configured on the 4810 as follows

interface Vlan 470
description **SQL_HeartBeat**
no ip address
tagged TenGigabitEthernet 0/2,5-35,40-44
tagged Port-channel 25,127
no shutdown

The Ten Gigabit Ethernet ports are the connections to the M1000 blade

The Dell 4810 is connected to a core 6509 switch via a trunked port-channel

interface Port-channel 25

description "Uplink to "6500"
no ip address
portmode hybrid
switchport
vlt-peer-lag port-channel 25
no shutdown

ping -S 10.50.70.15 10.50.70.14

Pinging 10.50.70.14 from 10.50.70.15 with 32 bytes of data:
Reply from 10.50.70.15: Destination host unreachable.
Reply from 10.50.70.15: Destination host unreachable.
Reply from 10.50.70.15: Destination host unreachable.
Reply from 10.50.70.15: Destination host unreachable.

I am trying to ping from one node to the next which are on two separate ESXi hosts, yet I cannot get connectivity, has anyone ever seen this?

Please, share the following information:

1) port configuration of Cisco 6509 switch where your Dell switches are connected and if VLAN 470 are present of Cisco 6509 switch;

2) port configuration of Dell 4810 switch where your Dell pass-through switches are connected;

Good Day Sir

Just for the heck of it here is my peer connections

interface fortyGigE 0/48

Port-channel 25 is my uplink to my 6509 and port-channel 127 is the interconnect between 4810's

This is the Port-channel on the 6509 connected to my 4810's

these are the 4 interfaces that physically connect the 4810 to the 6509
