Doubts over isolating VR traffic

Hi all,

I am trying to isolate the VR traffic in my lab but I have 3 doubts over the setup:

1) In the "IP address for incoming storage traffic" is it correct that you need to enter the IP address of the new network adaptor that you added for separating the VR traffic.

e.g. if you create a new VMkernel adaptor for VR traffic with an IP of 10.10.10.10 and connect that port group to the VR appliance, that is the IP you would put in that field.

I believe that you are basically telling the VR appliance to accept all VR traffic through that VMkernel instead of the mgmt kernel, correct?

 

2) When adding a static route on the source VR appliances, you enter the default gateway that the network needs to use to go to the target site. Is that correct?

Also you enter the target network IP address subnet as well.

 

3) In the documentation it says in one place that you should only put 1 service on a single VMkernel adaptor but in another place that you can enable both services (VR and VR NFC) on 1 adaptor.

Can you enable both services on a single adaptor without having any problems or being unsupported?

 

Can anyone confirm my 3 doubts please?

Cheers
