I have just been reading LeftHand Networks documentation on how they recommend you setup the ESX networking when using 6 Uplinks and they recommend this:

pNIC0 -> vSwitch0 -> Portgroup0 (Management)

pNIC1 -> vSwitch0 -> Portgroup1 (Production)

pNIC2 -> vSwitch1 -> Portgroup2 (iSCSI Storage)

pNIC3 -> vSwitch1 -> Portgroup2 (iSCSI Storage)

pNIC4 -> vSwitch2 -> Portgroup3 (VMotion)

pNIC5 -> vSwitch2 -> Portgroup3 (VMotion)

Is this a better setup than mentioned above with the VMotion on the same switch as the Service console?

Thanks

Tony
