Hi,

Integrity Virtual Machine
Could i put 2 physical NICs in one vswitch?

Wait.

I believe you would need APA for that......

Yes - you need APA:

"Using redundant pNICs and APA, you can ensure high availability of the guest networks and provide greater capacity for the VM Host system running many guests with network-intensive applications."

One physical NIC per vswitch.

If you "team" the NICs using APA, it looks like a single NIC from the HPVM point of view (lan900 for example instead of lan9).

[Fernando Jose P de Souz]

ok, but the vswitch just accept one physical NIC?

[Torsten.]

One physical NIC per vswitch.

If you are using APA (you create a bundle out of different real NICs), the resulting "NIC" looks like another physical NIC, so it is still 1 (virtual APA) NIC per vswitch.

Thanks for all.
