Multi-NIC vMotion port group on a vSphere distributed switch.
Caution
Multi-NIC vMotion is only supported on a single nonrouted subnet, so you must
ensure that all vMotion VMKernel ports that are to participate in the vMotion
network have an IP address on the same network subnet.
As mentioned in the “
Jumbo Frames
” section of this chapter, Multi-NIC vMotion can
benefit from the increased MTU that jumbo frames provide.
Figure 8.23
shows the
performance characteristics of single NIC vMotion and Multi-NIC vMotion recorded
during a performance test of vSphere 5.0.
