Reference Architecture for Active System 1000 with VMware vSphere

6.3 Network Configuration

This section provides the network best practices for implementing VMware vSphere 5.1 Update 1 on

Dell blade servers and Dell Networking S4810 switches.

Hypervisor network configuration for LAN traffic: VMware ESXi hypervisor is configured for the LAN

traffic associated with the blade servers. LAN traffic in Active System 1000v solution is categorized into

four traffic types: VM traffic, management traffic, vMotion traffic, and Out-of-Band (OOB) management

traffic. OOB management traffic is associated with CMC, iDRAC, Brocade management, and Compellent

management traffic. VM traffic, management traffic, and vMotion traffic are associated with the blade

servers in the compute cluster and the rack servers in the management cluster.

On the compute cluster hosts (the PowerEdge M620 blade servers), one vSwitch each is created for VM

traffic, vSphere management traffic and vMotion traffic. Two partitions, one from each physical

network port, are connected as uplinks to each of the virtual switches. This creates a team of two

network ports, enabling NIC failover and load balancing for each vSwitch. On the management cluster

hosts (the PowerEdge R620 rack servers), one vSwitch each is created for management traffic and

vMotion traffic. In this case, all VMs are management VMs, so the VM traffic and the vSphere

management traffic are on the same management VLAN. Due to this fact, the VM traffic port group and

the vSphere management traffic port group are on the same vSwitch.

The resultant compute cluster and management cluster hypervisor host configuration is illustrated in

Figure 5.
