5 Essential Tips for Maximizing Your Experience at Nutanix .NEXT for Bloggers
Thanks Jon, I'm told the TORs can't be vpc enabled (nexus 9000 series), it would need to have the vpc back on the 7000s. Our networking team is reviewing, still may reach out to you, these are our first nutanix, impressed so far, just this networking issue is slowing down the implementation. Cheers
My understanding from networking is the TOR are not linked (apart from that isolated vlan), each node has 1 link into each TOR so potentially traffic from 1 node would go out of the rack and back into the other TOR to get to another node. Believe this is due to not being able to run a vpc across the TOR. Cheers
Thanks for the info, the requirement is coming from the network team, to drive all the replication traffic onto that specific vlan as that only exists between the two TOR switches, aim is that traffic doesn't have to leave the rack. It looks like I can do that by changing the current ip of the cvms to that subnet and adding esxi mngmt interfaces in there, then having a dual homed box for management. Downtime is ok as this is our first nutanix setup and its all in test mode at the moment. Cheers
I've been presented with a networking solution where the two TOR switches have a vlan between them just for cvm traffic, plan was to change the cvms onto this new vlan, then add a secondary esxi management network and get them to use that. Reading the doco on weighting seems to suggest that would work? Though I believe I would need to change the cvms ip manually, and there doesnt seem any doco for that. Cheers
