Hello Everybody,
i'm currently planning a bigger installation with ethernet based NetApp NFS storage.
On the picture you can see my network design. What is the best way to configure the vmkernel ports to use both vmnics (8 and 10)?
Etherchannel / LACP between host and first switch "instance" is not possible because the switches do not support this (HP VirtualConnect).
My fear is that in my first planned configuration
VMkernel Portgroup -> VMkernel 1 (192.168.1.201) -> Uplink: vmnic8, vmnic10 (based on virtual port ID)
All NFS traffic will go through vmnic8, regardless how may NFS stores i use. Or will vmnic8 used for vmdk file 1, vmnic10 for vmdk file 2, vmnic8 for vmdk file 3 and so on?
How often is the NFS connection route calculated?
Will "Route based on physical NIC Load" work for me?
Thank you,
Marcel Mertens
