Hi
We have recently deployed DvSwitches on a new ESXi 5 cluster of 5 hosts.
We are having a few issues though.
We are connecting to Cisco nexus 2000's with 10GB networking
I have 2 ports from each host connected to the DvSwitch (these ports on each host are in an port channel group on the Cisco switches) and the switchports are in trunk mode.
I have set the load balancing method to use "Route based on IP Hash" on all port groups that have been created - the DVUplinks group remains "route based on originating virtual port" and is greyed out so cannot be changed - I know the port group settings should override this though.
The issue is that when any of the VM servers try to ping another server in the same port group there is substantial packet loss.
What could be the reason for this?
1 of the hosts that shows the most significant problems shows under Network Adapters > Observed IP Ranges a list of VLANs and IP subnets - whereas all other hosts display None in this field.
Any help or ideas would be great
Thanks!
