Yeah, we have m6220, one on each side. But we want to use external port 4 to vmotion, how can i do that? Do i have to use 3 ports on a1 and and connect blade 1 connection two to a2 port for with vlan 2
Will i loose failover if i configure one port to communicate vlan 2 only? It has to be port 4 on a2 i guess, and normal traffic will go through the 3 ports on 1, is this possible. Since i can see both connections in wmvare.
If left side fails wouldnt all traffic go through port 4 right side (vlan2)
Thats what i thought. Since we got a blade rack on a other location it will use vmotion and move the vms to the other m1000e rack.
So the only minus is that if A1 fails the users will be disconnected. But we cant get everything in the world, atleast we can use vmotion to move the virtual machines to a other blade rack with connection to Vlan 1
A1 and A2 is connected to a Cisco switch(4748) with lag support. We have configured lag on 4 ports on the cisco switch.
and its communicating on fibre from there.
So we want to use port 17 18 19 on a1 and connect to three of those ports. But do i have to configure the internal ports in lag to? or just the external ports?
I hope this gives you the information you need. I appreciate your help.

I guess we wouldnt need lag on the internal ports since the other nic will go to a2 port 20 anyway. and Nic1 will go on a1 port 17 18 19(thats in lag)
Since the Cisco(4748) got lag aswell, do i have to set channel group 1 on the powerconnect and 2 on the switch, or dosent it really matter?

Yeah, but one thing, how can i get the internal port to blade 2 on A2 to point at external port 4(20) only
