Hi there,

If i need to change the my design. How do I persuade the my manager


You would probably start with outlining the current design, what issues there are with it and a proposed action plan to change the design.


There was a problem with this VMware Infrastructure. What is the problem with this VMware Infrastructure ?


I'm not sure? Are you asking if there is a 'problem' with the (little) information you have provided? Or has someone else given you a report or some information to say that the infrastructure is not designed well or is unstable?


One distributed switch for virtual machines , One distributed switch for vmotion network


You don't really need two distributed switches for this. You could simply have a single distributed switch and both traffic types can traverse over a single distributed switch. You can make use of the distributed port group binding to prioritise which NICs are used for each traffic type, or use a feature such as NIOC to put reservations in place.


Cheers, Matt.
