Hello everybody 🙂
I'm struggling trying to find and understand what would be the best configuration for my system (and of course to learn from it)...
Considering the fact that I have :
* A Cisco SB switch capable of LACP bonds
* A Synology NAS where I already configured one bond with several VLANs & IP adresses (seems to work really fine)
* I'm using iSCSI (for the moment - I'm not against migrating to NFS)
* I've 2 hosts with 4 network cards each (1 card with 4 ports)
* I'm only using normal vSwitches (not distributed) but I want to change it.
* vSphere 5.5
Whould the following setup possible (if it actually makes sense) ?
The setup I've in mind :
* Configure 2 distributed vSwitches with several port groups : 1 for VM traffic only, 1 for storage and vMotion together
* Have 2 NICS for each vSwitch
* Configure VM traffic switch with LACP (2 ports)
* Configure vMotion and iSCSI traffic vSwitch with 2x2 port groups, crossed
I can also configure several VLANs but I don't know if this is necessary of preferable. Would it make sense ? And if not, what would you propose ? NFS is an option if better.
Thanks in advance for your advices ! 🙂
