Design for network services

Question

A customer defines a requirement to minimize the vMotion migration time during a maintenance period. The servers being used are equipped with eight 1 GbE network adapters. Per the defined logical network configuration, there are two network adapters each used for:

  • Management traffic
  • vMotion traffic
  • iSCSI traffic
  • Virtual machine traffic

Which design decision should the architect make to meet the customer requirement?

Options

  • AUse Network I/O Control to define a reservation for vMotion traffic.
  • BImplement Multi-NIC vMotion by adding additional vMotion VMkernels.
  • CConfigure a dedicated TCP/IP stack for vMotion traffic.
  • DCombine vMotion and Management traffic to make use of four adapters.

Explanation

We maintain the 2 x 1 GbE network adapters for vMotion and then configure multiple VMkernel interfaces using the same NIC and network. Each time you add a VMkernel adapter and enable it for vMotion, you create a new stream. With more streams, there is greater bandwidth utilization.
