We have cutover to the Cisco Business Edition 6000M Svr (M4), Export Restricted SW (BE6M-M4-K9=) for UC. Two ports on this server are connected to our 2960S switch stack . The Server runs VmWare ESXi and the VMs related to UC – Communications manager, Unity Connection, IM & Presence, etc. We are using “IP Hash” for Load balancing and active/active failover for the server VM's. We are receiving the below error message in our syslogs
43.230 EDT: %SW_MATM-4-MACFLAP_NOTIF: Host 000c.2909.7fec in vlan 10 is flapping between port Gi3/0/11 and port Gi1/0/39

Can anyone tell me what would be the correct configuration for the switch ports and the ESXi for UCS? Our current port configurations are below.
interface GigabitEthernet1/0/39
description ESXI - UC Port 1
switchport mode trunk
spanning-tree portfast trunk
spanning-tree bpduguard enable
no ip igmp snooping tcn flood
end
NJ-MDF-2960-STACK#sh run int Gi3/0/11
Building configuration...
Current configuration : 183 bytes
!
interface GigabitEthernet3/0/11
description ESXI UC Port 2
switchport mode trunk
spanning-tree portfast trunk
spanning-tree bpduguard enable
no ip igmp snooping tcn flood

If you have load balancing configured on ESXi side, you need to have configured load balancing on 2960S as well. It seems you have no load balancing configured on Gi1/0/39 & Gi3/0/11.
Unfortunately, I have experience with neither ESXi load balancing nor stacked 2960S load balancing configurations. May be someone else will help. I can offer just some notices and documents that may help you:
