Looking for some advice.
Currently I have our Vmware 4.0 servers configured with 4 NICs. vSwitch0 (2 Nics) and vSwitch 1(2 Nics). Switch 0 has multiple port groups for each vlan I have (Over 8 Vlans) Switch 1 has the VmKernel for NFS. This is working just fine, I have a new server on order and I thought I would review this setup to make sure that I am maximimzing my performance.
I get a little confused it would appear that I could create multiple vSwitch's with the same 2 NIC's and have a port group under each one for the Vlan vs 1 vSwitch and multiple port groups. if this is incorrect please correct me.
Advantages or Disadvantages to this?
If you had 4 Nics and multiple Vlans using NFS for storage what would be the best config for both performance and failover?
What if I had 6 Nics (New server is coming with 6)?
Thanks
