I have a test 3-node Nutanix cluster. Just starting to learn. They are NX G9s. Each node has 4x25GB ports, but during installation only 2 were configured. Is it possible, or even best practice, to islolate the storage traffic from the VM traffic? Ie, maybe configure the unused 2 ports as another vSwtich and run the distributed fabric over that? If so, even possible to do this after install? Apologies for any misunderstandings.Â
Question
Dedicate uplinks for DSF, modify current cluster?
Hi,Â
is it possible, yes of course,
do you really need that segregation? it is up to you and the design and what security is forcing you to do.
you can simply create another switch and add the other two ports to that switch and point your VM traffic (TRUNK)Â over those two ports, that will simply segregate the VM traffic from the replication and storage traffic (they will remain on first two )
