Greetings,
I have two nics assigned for vmotion going to two seperate physical switches. The nic ports are configured as access ports. Is this the correct configuration?
port-profile type vethernet vmotion
vmware port-group
switchport mode access
switchport access vlan 445
no shutdown
inherit port-profile vmotion-uplink
state enabled
port-profile type ethernet vmotion-uplink
vmware port-group
switchport mode access
switchport access vlan 445
no shutdown
state enabled
Right now, it is not working. I am not sure why. Am I missing anything? Do I need the mac pinning command? Thanks.
port-profile type vethernet vmotion
vmware port-group
switchport mode access
switchport access vlan 445
no shutdown
inherit port-profile vmotion-uplink --> take this out. This gets done automatically by the VEM
system vlan 445 --> add this. Vmotion network should always have system vlan command
state enabled
port-profile type ethernet vmotion-uplink
vmware port-group
switchport mode access
switchport access vlan 445
no shutdown
channel-group auto mode on mac-pinning
system vlan 445 --> system vlan needs to be set for ingress and egress ports so set this
state enabled
Whenever you have two links on the N1KV in the same eth type port-profile a channel-group command must be used.
Give that a try and see if it starts working.

Thanks Louis,
Here is what I did according to your instructions
port-profile type ethernet uplink-vmotion
vmware port-group
switchport mode access
switchport access vlan 445
channel-group auto mode on mac-pinning
no shutdown
system vlan 445
state enabled
port-profile type vethernet vmotion
vmware port-group
switchport mode access
switchport access vlan 445
no shutdown
system vlan 445
state enabled
We are using version 4.0(4)SV1(3a) in ESXi 4.1
It stops at 10% when I try to migrate, any thoughts?
Can you vmkping the interfaces between the ESX hosts?
