Production Network layout review

[mshipek]

Could I please have one of the Gurus once over this vSwitch, Port Group and VLAN layout I have finalized for my production network and either bless it or pick it apart.  I would like to go live with this if I haven't missed anything that will cause potential issues when deployed.

This is a 2 host environment connected to a single V1910-48G switch using VLAN Trunks on all ports.

VM Networks are 10.101.11.x and 10.101.13.x for DMZ.

vMotion NICs are set to active 0 and standby 1 in vMotion-0 Port Group and active 1 and standby 0 for Port Group vMotion-1 for multiple vMotion NIC operation.

vSwitch1 is also set up with active on one and standby on the other and vice versa.

Thank you for all your help, it is truly appreciated.

Can you share some additional details about your physical network interfaces : They are four single port NIC, one quad port or two dual port ?

I'd suggest you consider two separate/additional network adapters for vMotion, as vMotion can easily saturate the network links, and therefore cause issues with the VMs running on vSwitch0.

>>> vSwitch1 is also set up with active on one and standby on the other and vice versa

For iSCSI you need to configure active/unused. Since you already have VM's running, I assume you actually configured the VMkernel ports this way.

I'd be happy to, thank you for the help!

These two hosts are both identical DL360p Gen8 Servers with one quad port NIC onboard.

I am running Essentials Plus

I do have the iSCSI adapters as active and unused.  The NAS is a Synology Rackstation RS812RP+ with 2 1GB NICs onboard.  These are set as LAG on the V1910-48G

I hope this helps.  Please let me know if there is anything else I can provide.

Thank you,
