Hi,
I am trying to build a Microsoft NLB pair in my ESX 7.0 /vCenter Lab. When i initially tried to configure it using Unicast I was unable to get it working. I backed that out and on the other node started to set it up as Multicast. This worked for the first node but when I tried to add another (ie the original node) I discovered that it is uncontactable. I've reset the IPs, rebooted etc. but still no go. Upon further investigation the port is blocked to the server on the vSwitch and I am unable to find out how to unblock it. The nodes are on separate ESX hosts.
so, a couple of questions :
1. How do I unblock it ?
2. Is there a preferred way to set this up ?
Many Thanks
Alan
