Finished a Dell implementation yesterday with Esxi 5.1, 3 hosts and PS 4100 SAN. I have created a cluster in my "lab" environment and now looking at setting up vmotion. Here is the basic setup:
Hosts - IP's of 192.168.100.1-.3 (Connected back to core lan ,VMnetwork and management same vcswitch)
Vcenter Appliance - 192.168.100.163
iSCSI Network on 2 dedicated stacked 6224 switches. Port 1 set back to core lan and the rest were set for the iSCSI network using 10.100.1.15-.20 (Dell techncian set all ports to that vlan)
Should I setup vmotion on the Dell 6224 switches? Meaning I will have to go in and change what the Dell tech did or can I use the same iSCSI network for vmotion so I could setup a vmotion vswitch and assign 2 NIC's per host and use 10.100.1.21-26 for the 3 hosts? This environment will run about 20 VM's ranging from a single exchange server, sql and a few webservers that are low useage.
I did test using 10.110.1.22-23 for the first host with multi NIC setup of vmotion. I think I would need to go into the stacked switches console and assign the 3 ports on that switch to a new vlan for vmotion correct?
