Hey Guys,
We are moving to a new datacenter and we have a chance to reconfigure 4 esxi hosts with efficiency in mind. Right now we aren't nic teaming and do not have redundancy. I came into this environment so I do have the knowledge of how to configure redundancy however I want to know exactly what options I have available to me.
We have 3 switches stacked to form on logical unit. Each host has 6 NIC's. I'm going to dedicate 4 (two groups of team nic's adapters) and wire them to the switch redundantly. I would like to configure these active/active if possible - but what does this entail? I must etherchannel from my cisco switch correct? Do I also need to Nexus 1000 licenses?
