Hi all,
I'm in the process of writing a blueprint for a P2V (Physical-to-Virtual) migration for the majority of our servers (about 82). VMware ESXi is to be used as a virtual platform, the VM's will be hosted on 2+2 ESX servers (2 server rooms).
I'd like some help designing the physical network infrastructure. In ESX it's possible to create teams of physical nics. Lets say I want to team 4 physical nics on an ESX server, to allow a maximum of 4Gbit throughput. I want the switches to be redundant, so that if one switch fails, there's still 2Gbit available on the other:
As I'm not a Cisco guru, I'd like to get some feedback if this is possible.
