Dear Duncan 

Thanks alot for taking time to look at my query and for the quick help with an interesting document  :slightly_smiling_face:

I am blessed  :slightly_smiling_face:

Just a few follow up questions after going through the validated design  .  

Thank you in advance for some pointers  / guidance  .

1. Should we plan a different distributed switch for the Management /vmotion traffic or is it ok if  we use the same distributed switch with a different LAG for the Vmotion / Management vnics in LACP  ?  Which approach is good  ? 

2. Is it ok to have a single LACP  Uplink   ( lag  ) for both Management / vmotion traffic  with different port groups for each   ?   Should we expect issues while using  vmotion / management traffic with LACP  ? 

3. As we have a mix of old and new hardware in the same ESX cluster, is it ok for us to start with new hosts in the cluster having  management / vmotion in a distributed switch and the old hosts still using them via standard switch  ?   as like for vm traffic , can we migrate the old hosts to the distributed switch config for management / vmotion traffic in a non disruptive way  ?
