To utilize NIC teaming, two or more network adapters must be uplinked to a virtual
switch.
The NIC team used for the virtual machine network provides extra capacity as well as
failover and keeps the portgroup connected to the network if one of the network adapters
fails. The VMotion uplink is ideally connected to its own subnet along with other ESX
Server host’s VMotion ports to separate its traffic from the virtual machine and Service
Console traffic and maximize performance.
An additional network adapter can be uplinked to virtual switch 1 to provide for failover
on the Service Console (management) interface, or to a new virtual switch 4 to provide
for iSCSI or NFS storage (ideally on its own subnet).
