Hi there,
I'm setting up a vmkernel port group so I can simply create an NFS datastore.
In the traditional c# client, you simply select 'Management Traffic' when creating the vmkernel port group.
In the web client, you have the following options when creating a vmkernel port group:
vMotion Traffic
Provisioning Traffic
FT Logging
Management Traffic
vSphere Replication traffic
vSphere Replication NFC traffic
vSAN traffic
I notice in the documentation, it lists 'Provisioning traffic' as "Handling the data transferred for virtual machine cold migration, cloning, and snapshot creation". So does this mean, this is just a more granular way of specifying and controlling the services the vmkernel port can provide? Does this mean, when creating an NFS datastore, I still have to select 'Management traffic' as opposed to 'Provisioning traffic' since I'll be doing more than cold migration (for example, hot migrations, etc..), cloning and snapshots?
Thank you.
