I have a blade system and currently I have 3 host , I use 192.168.25.0 and 255.255.255.0 subnet , I have 4 NIC in each host , my plan to make 2 NIC for VC and V. Machine ,I don't have that much V.Machines total around 18 machines will be located in 3 hosts , and I will make one NIC for my NetApp filer (iSCI) , and the last NIC will be for VMotion , I already create the NIC teaming , the isci for my filer but everytime I want to create the Vmotion it give me this massage (Error during configuration of the host: SysinfoExcetion: NodeID(17) ; Status(195887109)=Already exists;Message=Unable to Set.
also can I add the VMotion and isci in the same NIC if I want to save the last NIC for some other solution because I don't have that much vmotion activities or that will effect the performance ?
Thanks
Thanks Mike..
I think I should also include that I am actually referencing 3i installable, which from my limted knowledge of VMWare is quite different than 3.5.
Mike in my Dev 3i environment I do not have a Service Console Gateway field that is separate VMKernel Gateway like the one in your screenshot. I guess this is just one of many differences in 3i.
Carter, In light of this 3i/3.5 mixup I'm sure this doesn't help our conversations in the NFS Storage thread. Sorry about that.
Your welcome,,
3i is out of my scope of experience, I know from reading that 3i is different.
You can still follow the fundamental best practices presented here and everthing will work well.

Hi,
what would the correct seetings be for the adpator teaming config - in terms of the load balancing policy etc when connecting to an iscsi device?
This is the setting I have and every thing is working well. I would like to experiment with them if time permits. The important thing is to have a second path in case one goes down. I place mine across two physical switches. This way you can have a network switch maint cycle or failure etc. and the connection carries on without interruption.
