Hi,
This is what we currently have NIC wise:
2x 1Gb NIC (teamed) in each node for management
4x 1Gb NIC (teamed) in each node for live migration traffic
2x 10Gb NIC (teamed) in each node CSV traffic
Currently the 10Gb NICs are throttled to 1Gb and connected to 1Gb switches. Our replacement switches are 24x or 48x 1Gb ports and 4x 10Gb ports (2x ethernet and 2x SFP+). We will use the SFP+ for the stack and were going to use the 10GbE ports for connectivity to the nodes for CSV.
Is there any reason to use a switch for this 2-node cluster? Instead can I just directly connect the NICs for both CSV and Live Migration? Is that a supported environment?
Thanks
