Thanks, mr Penguin. Hope you still get some ice on Artic next year, or maybe Austral ice is better ...
a) 2 vSwitches : I think I can do that. Some time ago, I defined 2 vSwitches even we used only one network. Later I saw it was useless.
b) "to protect your management traffic" - interesting question
... "to segregate your public traffic from your management traffic" - interesting situation
I have read some items in these forums, and it seems to me you are talking about the situation when "data" traffic (or "public" traffic)
blocks the NIC, so your "remote management traffic" can not get thru, so it does not reach the ESX.
Am I right ?
I think we dont have this problem, as we do local management, using the local console.
Do you agree with me ?
And I agree my experience is short, as I still have not seen such "blocking" in our installation. We do have problems with the number of MAC's (see my other post in this forum), but not with the volume of data.
To tell you the truth; i would like to have such a trouble next year, meaning my bussiness goes very very well !
