10gbe switches, haha yeah right!
Right now, I have the servers configured with 4 NIC ports. I know it would work, but it looks like 8 would be ideal.
How to setup virtual networking when 8 pNICs are involved follows:
pNIC0 -> vSwitch0 -> Portgroup0 (service console)
pNIC1 -> vSwitch0 -> Portgroup0 (service console)
pNIC2 -> vSwitch1 -> Portgroup1 (VMotion)
pNIC3 -> vSwitch1 -> Portgroup1 (VMotion)
pNIC4 -> vSwitch2 -> Portgroup2 (Storage Network)
pNIC5 -> vSwitch2 -> Portgroup2 (Storage Network)
pNIC6 -> vSwitch3 -> Portgroup3 (VM Network)
pNIC7 -> vSwitch3 -> Portgroup3 (VM Network)
That is taken from http://www.networkworld.com/community/node/36691
That makes sense to me, using 4 or 6 NIC ports is possible but more confusing.
