I seem to be noticing alot of socket issues with VM's connecting to even eachother or diffrent hosts. My layout is, I have only 10 VM's. My company's custom software takes in 8 million transactions a day and then sends it to another VM that decodes the information and writes the information to our sql database. Now my problem is my software is having trouble keeping or even establishing socket connections to eachother even if they are on the same host. THis did not happen until we went virtual. From research I have gathered it seems like the NIC E1000 driver may be at fault. It seems very easy to change the driver simply by deleting the current nic/driver (e1000) and adding a new one. Now my other question is
Whats the way to go? E1000, VMXNET2 or VMXNET3
Also im running esxi 4 and vcenter 4.1. Main switch has been replaced just to void that out being a problem.
Thanks!
