ESXi hosts with 10Gbps network cards are attached to a distributed switch. The administrator has upgraded to NIOC3 and wants to allow vMotion traffic to use as much bandwidth as possible but must ensu

Configuring shares on a distributed switch for vMotion defines its proportional weight relative to other traffic types. During contention, each traffic type receives bandwidth proportional to its shares, ensuring other services always get their guaranteed slice. When no contention exists, vMotion can freely use all available bandwidth up to line rate.

Limits cap the absolute maximum bandwidth vMotion can use, which directly prevents it from using as much bandwidth as possible - the opposite of the requirement.

CoS tagging marks packets for QoS priority treatment at external switches but does not control bandwidth allocation within the distributed switch itself.

User-defined network resource pools in NIOC3 are intended for virtual machine port group traffic, not system traffic types like vMotion; system traffic shares are set directly on the switch.
