Is there a beast practices guide somewhere on vm networking?
Having an issue with VM's with multiple NICs losing their network connectivity for a short time after a reboot.
Appears to be a ARP table conflict or something related. Using a Distributed switch with 2 physical LAN connections/per host configured as a MLT.
Thanks
Hi ,
You may use below option if you need redundancy also best practice is separate these 3 networks
Example
Management Network # vmnic0 , vmnic5
vMotion Network # vmnic1 , vmnic3
VMNetwork #vmnic2 , vmnic4
vmnic 0-3 can be on board physical connection
vmnic 4-5 can be external n/w card
And Connectivity should go to Two separate Physical Switch
The servers are setup as software based load balancers - hence the reason for the different IP's for different applications. Some SSL - others not.
So having multiple ip's on multiple nics is required. We can try multiple IP's on one nic, but I would have thought that separate NIC's with unique MACs would work better..
am not sure assigning multiple ip on vmkernal network will work properly , you can try
