Good morning, I currently have servers with 6 network cards, 2 physical 1 Gb. And 4 10 Gb.
In each site we are going to install a vmware cluster with 4 nodes. The customer purchased an enterprise plus license. I would like to configure a vDS for host management in each vCenter, but would like to hear your recommendations regarding the use of physical devices for management traffic, such as vmotion traffic.
My ideas:
1- Create a vSS for the management network and VM. Then create a vDS for the vMotion network (using the 10Gb NICs)
2- Create a vSS for the management network and VM. Then create a vSS for the vMotion network.
3- Create a vSS for the management network (1 Gb NIC). Then create a vDS for the VM and vMotion network (10 Gb NIC), using the Physical NIC LOAD policy.
4- Create a vDS and place all the traffic there, administration, vm and vmotion.
I would like your suggestions and comments, thank you.
