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.
