vMotion allows for the running state of a virtual machine to be transferred from one ESXi host to another. The network traffic that's required for the migration uses the VMkernel interfaces that have been enabled for vMotion. vMotion connectivity between ESXi hosts is required when using a Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS) to balance the virtual machine load across hosts in a DRS-enabled cluster.
vMotion network design considerations
How to do it...
The following steps to design networking for vMotion:
- Identify the vMotion network requirements
- Determine the best practices for configuring the network connectivity that's required to support vMotion
- Identify the benefits of keeping virtual machines together on the...
