Hi all,
Considering of the following enviroment:
1) 4 Physical Servers,each server has 16 Nics (Gigabit) will install vSphere 5 std.
2) 2 Switches with stack function for SAN Storage
3) 2 Equallogic PS4000 SAN (Dual controller )
4) 2 Switches for virtual machine traffic
Regarding to the networking, I plan do create some vSwitches on each physical server as follows
1. vSwitch0 - used for iSCSI storage
6 NICs Teamed, with IP-hash teaming policy, multipathing with iSCSI Storage;and the stroage load balancing is Round Rodin(vmware)
( vmware suggests use 2 NICs for 1 IP storage traget, I am not sure)
2. vSwitch1 - used for virtual machine
6 NICs Teamed for virtual machine traffic, with IP-hash policy
3. vSwitch2 - for managment
2 NICs Teamed
4. vSwitch3 - vMotion
2 NICs teamed
Would you like kindly give me some suggestions?
