vNIC failover policy for vMotion network

b.e.leblanc
Level 1
Level 1

Hi everyone,

I'm wondering what the recommended design/configuration is for a VMware vMotion network on UCS-B Series v2.0?

1. Create a single vNIC with A-B failover for the vSwitch
2. Create 2 vNICs with A-B failover and make them both active for the vSwitch
3. Create 2 vNICs, 1 with on A and 1 on B both with no failover, and make them both active for the vSwitch
4. Create 2 vNICs, 1 with on A and 1 on B both with no failover, and make 1 active and 1 standby for the vSwitch

The intension is to avoid the vMotion traffic from leaving the FIs, either from within a chassis or across chassis.

Which of the above, if any, would satisfy that?

What are some folks experiences and/or best practices in the real world?

Thanks in advance for any responses.

-Brian

Hello Brian,

Avoid with fabric failover (A-B ) with ESXi teaming and choose option #4
