Hello,
My infrastructure of nested ESXi 5.1 is as below and everything is working fine.(vMotion, HA/DRS, iSCSI/NFS connect to physical storage and so on)
But there's a strange problem between x1 pESXi and x2 vESXi about ICMP response, please give me some suggestions to solve it, thanks !!!
x1 pESXi (Management IP=172.16.10.10)
Standard vSwitch2
Uplinks x4 which are teaming together with IP-hash to Cisco switch (etherchannel and trunk)
Portgroups x5 (MGMT, STOR, vMOT, FT, PROD) with it's own vlan id.
x2 vESXi (Management IP=172.16.10.111 & 172.16.10.222)
There're x5 Standard vSwitch which are configured as follows.
Name: vSwitch0
Uplinks x2 which are teaming together with IP-hash to pESXi vSwitch.
Portgroups: MGMT
When pESXi ping vESXI vmkernel IP address with each other, the duplicate ICMP response will be occurred.
