Virtual machines are access NFS data warehouses directly? If Yes, then yes it should work that way - however if you are using the NFS data store to host the VM files, including virtual disks and then traffic will turn off the vmkernel port and if have vmkernel unique port then what you are experiencing is expected - the vmkernel selects the outgoing NIC based on the virtual port id so if you have a single port vmkernel will suffice a single port as well as a NETWORK identifier unique will be used. I've attached a screenshot of a virtual switch in place. Is throughbut limited to ~ 110 MB per blade and the storage system can easily exceed this. This behavior is consistent across the two blades. Then they both work, but he never uses both at the same time. Instead, all the traffic of all eight VMs released a physical NIC if I disable the physical NIC, it moves the second NETWORK card without problem. My understanding is that each virtual computer must use one of the network cards, but about half must use a physical NETWORK card and half the other. Two NFS devices on a different IP addressД®ight virtual machines on each blade, four to connect to a data store on each device of NFSД®SXi NIC teaming across two network cards with the option 'route based on the virtual origin of switch port code. Two blades each with two physical network adapters dedicated to the ESXi for NFS kernel portsДЄ NETWORK adapter on each blade is connected to each switch - it isn't an Etherchannel or trunking configured I want to get ESXi to load balance the traffic to my NFS storage, but have had no success. Grouping of NETWORK adapters and NLB on ESXi 3.5 I want absolutely to the redundancy of having two cards together. If you only have 2 network cards, then I would say having a vSwitch with two attached network adapters and VLAN the VMkernel may be off. In this case you would just move one of the NIC workgroup through to those switches manually. He didn't need redundancy really as if the NIC sank the only issue is that you cannot vmotion virtual machines. The VMkernel would get a NETWORK card dedicated for vMotion and could be on a separate network. That would give you redundancy and performance to access your hosts (SC) and also for all your virtual machines. VSwitch0 - vmnic0, vmnic2, vmnic3 - Console of Service, VM LAN network With 10-15 VMs per box and I guess that I would seriously consider adding two extra cards for each host in the production machines. I don't have access to b/c distributed switching we paid only for the company (not more). We are a small shop and we have about 10-15 VMs on each host. However, in this scenario, I have no fault tolerance or load balancing. Do you have any ideas or advice? I could also create two virtual switches and put my virtual machines on one which would have a NETWORK card dedicated and put my service and Kernal VM console on another virtual switch with a dedicated network card. However, I'm not sure on the performance and the security risks.

I thought that I have just to keep all my groups of ports on the default vSwitch0 and add my second NETWORK adapter so that I can take advantage of the Association of NICs for redundancy and load balancing. If I do this, all my virtual machines will have to go to 1 NIC b/c I only have 2 NICs per host.

The books said that it is advisable to delete the VM network port of virtual machine that is assigned to the value group default virtual switch and put it on another virtual switch so that you keep your management network separated from the network of the vm for performance and security.

There is a virtual switch that ESX creates when it is installed (vSwtich0). I have 3 guests, each have 2 network cards. I got my training a few weeks ago, and now I'm configing my hosts. I'm new to VMware and am its implementation. Advice on how best to configure the network adapters and virtual switch in ESX host
