Hi.
is there any way to "bind" NFS-Traffic to a separate physical NIC port using a dvSwitch?
From my point of view separating HA and DRS traffic is as simple as
1. generating two dvSwitches
2. adding a/some NIC
3. adding a VMKernel adapter for each switch
4. and selecting one of both checkboxes in the cluster properties page (HA or DRS)
Therefor i did the following configuration:
dvSwitchLAN - Should only be used for VMs and administration
Has one service console adapter (just for testing)
dvSwitch-NFS - Should be used for NFS traffic
Has one VMKernel adapter
dvSwitch-HA - Should be used for HA
Has one VMKernel adapter with enabled VMotion option
dvSwitch-FT - Should be used for Fault Tolerance
Has one VMKernel adapter with enabled FT option
Everything works fine, but finally i added a NFS datastore.
Now i have three VMKernel adapter (each a possible NFS "provider") and no clue which one is chosen for NFS and how to "bind" its traffic to the dvSwitch-NFS?
Any ideas?
Thanks a lot,
Markus
Are you on separate subnets? see post http://communities.vmware.com/thread/219114?tstart=0
