I currently have 7 NICS allocated to each of my ESX servers. Below is my configuration
1 Nic for the service console.
1 Nic for V-motion.
2 Nics for my Virtual Machines.
1 Nic for my View clients (just started testing)
2 Nics for my ISCSI Equal logic storage.
What I would like know is if I should move any of the Nics around or is this a good setup? I am trying to follow the connection path that a user would take from connecting from their desktop and accessing a VM server. Please advise if this is correct.
Example
A client tries to RDP into a VM files server on ESX server 1. Where will most of the traffic take place? On the service console virtual Nic or on the 2 Virtual Nics allocated to the virtual machines?
Please let me know if my thought process is right. If so I am thiking about adding another physical Nic to the service console.
