vSwitch Gateway affects vMotion... sometimes?

Is it possible to vMotion when the vSwitch gateway is incorrect? If so, would it eventually fail and hang vmotioning VMs?

Depends, are we talking ESX or ESXi? on ESXi the gateway is the SAME as the vSwitch for the console / vmotion. On ESX they are different, so when you vMotion on ESX you just need to make sure the vKernel is setup properly.. on ESXi the gateway would make a difference..

We are all ESXi, so then it would be a problem, eh? Hrm. But could it work for a few vMotions and then die?
