Hello all
i am pretty much new to VMware and i am right now learning.
what i have problem is with Teaming of network cards
let me give you an impression what the current status is
- Server with 3 nics (1 for Management and Services, 2 in a team and cinnected to the NAS)
- Switch Netgear gs108Tv2
- NAS 412 with 2 NICS
config Switch:
Port 2 the single Nic
port 5 and 8 should be the ESXI Team
port 6 and 7 team from/to NAS
i have read a lot, but i can not find the Issue. It looks like the Management goes over port 8.
what i have done:
In networking (vsphare) i created VSwitch1 with includes the 2 NICS (on the switch port 5/8)
i entered the IP 10.125.40.50 and 51 (do i have not just one IP when NICS are teamed ?)
i added 2 VMKernel ports - one active the other unused and the opposite with the second VMKernel port
in storage with the ISCIS config / network configuration i added the 2 VMKernel ports
the serrings of the ISCSI Storage / manage path is round robin
That team should only be for the traffic between ESXI and NAS.
The management Interface is on vSwitch0 with the IP 172.16.1.40
if i disconnect one cable from the Team the vSpare is done / lost connection - it looks like the whole trafic goes over port 8.
i still dont understand following:
1. i have read i need to configure VLAN for it / on the switch side ?
a, how to configure VLAN ? do i need to put port 5 and 8 in VLAN4 and 6 and 7 in VLAN6 or does it needs to be all 4 ports in the same VLAN ?
b, then i need to configure VLAN on ESXI Team too ?
c, why does the networks for teaming have 2 IPs ?
i want that only the traffic from ESXI to the NAS should run over ports 5-8 / in a Team with 2000 mbit. the Management Traffic over port 2
right now i can see on the stats that this is not the case
thank you guys
PS: there are many tuorials for these config but i havent found which actually works.
