I have 6 x 1Gb NICs to work with. These are on half-height blades. 2 of the NICs are onboard. 4 of the NICs are provided through a Single Mezzanine card.
Here are the traffic types I need to split up among the NICs:
-Backup traffic
-Vmotion Traffic
-Management Traffic
-Production virtual machine traffic
What is the best design for this scenario, given that if the mezzanine card fails, I lose 4 out of the 6 NICs?
How many port groups should I use?
Which port groups should go on which NICs?
How many NICs should go to a given port group?
Your suggestions appreciated!
Thanks
