I have 8 physical NICs to work with on and ESXi 5.1 host using Enterprise Plus licensing. I need to service the following traffic:
Management traffic
vMotion traffic
Virtual machine traffic (Probably 2 pnics will suffice for this)
NFS traffic
Fault tolerance will NOT be used. How many pnics should I dedicate to NFS, vMotion and management traffic? What failover policy should I use (active / active) (active/standby) for each?
This is enterprise plus licensing and vSphere Distributed Switches are being used.
Thanks
