Hi Tim,
Thanks for the speedy reply. I already have the switch set as both vmnics active. Within each port group I have the active/standby setup. For example
vSwitch4, > Properties
vSwitch > Edit > Nic Teaming
Active = vmnic7, vmnic0
standby = [none]
unused = [none]
vMotion > Edit > Nic Teaming
Active = vmnic0
standby = vmnic7
unused = [empty]
Management > Edit > Nic Teaming
active = vmnic7
standby = vmnic0
unused = [empty]
I have the relevant tick boxes against the management and vmotion traffic types within each port group. The vswitch configuration is mostly default stuff, promiscuous = reject, mac address change = accept, forged transmits = accept, traffic shaping = disabled. MTU across the vswitch, port groups and physical switches is 1500.
Is there anything else I have overlooked?
Thanks
