Ahh... makes sense I suppose. I'll have to look at my structure and see how much I want to do that. As it stands right now I have the 1st Service Console on a dedicated NIC which is plugged into a switchport assigned to the appropriate VLAN, and the VMkernel is on a different dedicated NIC which is on a different VLAN. The rest of the NICs are assigned to a group and are connected to switchports in trunking mode so that I can dynamically assign networks.
I've attached a screenshot for anyone interested.
At least now I know why that message is there... though I wasn't immediately thinking MPIO when I heard redundancy... I just figured it wanted another console on a different NIC.
Thanks!
