Hello Vmware Folks
I am setting up a three nodes cluster with Hybrid Vsan and using two TOR switches for redundancy, each node has two 10 GBE NICs, each one going up to different TOR SW. I wonder to know if it's acceptable from the performance perspective to share single 10GBE NIC for VSAN, Management, and VM net. I am thinking also about using links aggregation across both TOR switches to gain in bandwidth.
Your feedback is highly appreciated
Cheers

That's basically possible, with Network /I/O in place, see e.g. "Allocating Bandwidth for vSAN by Using Network I/O Control" at Designing the vSAN Network

Do you have any 1GbE interfaces you could use?
Thanks for your answer, we do not have available 1gb ports available for the moment.
Ok, I would use the distributed switch and segment the bandwidth as a.p. has suggested.
