Single-NIC and Multi-NIC vMotion performance.
Tip
Each 10Gb Ethernet NIC worth of vMotion requires approximately one physical
CPU core of CPU utilization on the vSphere host. To get optimal performance,
you need to ensure that you have sufficient physical CPU resources for the
vMotion traffic and virtual machines.
Caution
In the original release of vSphere 5.0, there was an issue that could impact the
wider network when Multi-NIC vMotion was used, due to one of the MAC
addresses timing out. This issue was fixed in vSphere 5.0 Update 2. For further
