Dear All,
I'm on the process of building a Vi3 Infrastructure that consists of 2 BL-460 C Class. Each with 20 gig of ram, 6 pNICs and Qlogic FC 26242 HBA dual port via the mezzenien card.
My Question is:
The networks that I'm planning to put as follows:
1. Service Console
2. Production VMs
3. DMZ VMs
4. VMotion
Since I'm having 6 NIcs, how I shall be configuring those nics with regards of their service(s)?
Option 1:
1 For Service Console?
1 For vMotion ?
2 For Production VMs Network?
2 For DMZ VMs Network?
What about Failover in the Service Console and VMotion?
Or with VLANs, and 6 ports for each server!!!
Option 2:
1 for SC/vMotion Vlan?
2 for Production Vlan?
2 for DMZ Vlan?
If I combined the SC along with the VMotion Network, then the VMotion Network will be as part of the Service Console "where it's setting the Production Network"
Assume that, my production network is 128.104.0.0 then the Service Console has to be on the Same Subnet as well as the VMotion Network and the Production VMs Network??
Or I shall make the First Option without Failover for the S.C and Vmotion and assign the S.C Network a Production IP but for the VMotion Different IP? How the Hosts will talk to each other the S.C on Different IP and Vmotion Network on Different IP?
Could some please clarify this ?
