vmotion setup

Hi,

I'm wondering what the recommended setup is for vmotion. Should you have a seperate physcial NIC for it, or can you use the one that you are using for iSCSI?

Thanks

Hello and welcome to the forums.

A dedicated NIC that is connected to an isolated network is ideal. Other configurations may work, but the results may not be what you are looking for.

Good Luck!

tb1,

If you have two to dedicate to vmkernel (iscsi & vmotion), consider teaming them for failover.
