Explanation:
Vmware Knowledge Base KB 1004088To 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).
