I've a question related to how dvuplink work regarding link failover...
Let me say that I have this kind of configuration:
dvSwitch configured with 4 dvUplink (calling them dvu1 dvu2 dvu3 dvu4).
cluster 1 with 5 hosts need to use 2 of those dvuplink as Active/Active (and have 2 pnic configured on dvu1 and dvu2)
cluster 2 with 5 hosts need to use the other 2 of those dvuplink in Active/Standby (dvu3 is a 10g and the standby adapter dvu4 is only 1g)
the portgroup with vkernel interface is configured so that it has:
Active dvuplinks:
dvu1
dvu2
dvu3
Standby dvuplinks:
dvu4
On the second cluster (the one with 10g and 1g) it seems that I see traffic on both cards.
I was expecting that having only dvu3 and dvu4 configured the dvu4 will not go IN as a failover for dvu1 or dvu2 because those uplink are not even configured on that host.
Configuring only 2 dvuplink port and putting them in active/standby work as expected.
Is this the normal behaviour of the dvUplink ports?
