VMware HA Network Redundancy 操作

We have included the vMotion (VMkernel) network in our example as combining the Management Network and the vMotion network on a single vSwitch is the most commonly used configuration and an industry accepted best practice.

Requirements: 

1. 2 physical NICs

2. VLAN trunking

Recommended:

1. 2 physical switches

2. If available, enable “link state tracking” to ensure link failures are reported

The vSwitch should be configured as follows:

1. vSwitch0: 2 Physical NICs (vmnic0 and vmnic1).

2. 2 Portgroups (Management Network and vMotion VMkernel).

3. Management Network active on vmnic0 and standby on vmnic1.

4. vMotion VMkernel active on vmnic1 and standby on vmnic0.

5. Failback set to No.

Each portgroup has a VLAN ID assigned and runs dedicated on its own physical NIC.

we also recommend implementing the following advanced settings:

Advanced Settings: das.isolationaddressX = <ip-address>
