i got 2 active vmotion nics (vmnic1, 5) on vmk1. but traffic is using only vmnic1. how can i use both during a vmotion?
port channel? what load balancing policy do i need to set it to? right now it route based on virtual port
also what is the purpose of having a multi nic vmotion?
like vmk1 and vmk2?
vSphere 5 can use multiple NICs simultaneously for vMotion, which means migrating virtual machines will be faster. This may not be very interesting for moving a single VM. However consider evacuating a host which would require to migrate/vMotion multiple VMs.
For details take a look at http://kb.vmware.com/kb/2007467 and the link to yellow-bricks
