VC Flex10/10D and 6 NIC for VMware

[mammadshah]

Hi,

I am configuring C7000, that have two Virtual Connect Flex 10/10D module. only two ports are connected to Network switch so total for frour port as an uplink.  Also there are two modules as 8/24 Brocade SAN switch.

I am trying to achieve 6 ethernet adapters for each server profile (2 for VM Service console, 2 for VMotion, and 2 adapters for VM-Network).

However when i try to configure Shared Uplink Sets, I have maximum of 4 uplinks. 

My question is, can i have 6 or 8 Virtual Network Adapters for above requirements without making more uplinks physical connectivity.

Bay1 =X1 Linked
Bay1=X2 Linked
Bay2=X1 Linked
Bay2=X2 Linked

thanks,

There is no relationship between the number of uplinks and the number of nics you can use.

You can have all NICs connected to different VLANs from a single Shared Uplink Sets or

you can have one NIC connected to different VLANs from multiple Shared Uplinks Sets.

Only rule is you cant present the same VLAN more than once to the same Flex-NIC
