Hi All - I hope you can help as I'm a bit stuck with my network config...
I would like to find out what I'm doing wrong with my config.
Environment:
DGS-1500-28 (Dlink switch - http://www.dlink.com/uk/en/business-solutions/switching/smart-switches/smartpro/dgs-1500-28-28-port-gigabit-smartpro-switch)
ESXi1 (5.1.0 914609)
ESXi2 (5.1.0 914609)
NAS QNAP TS-869 pro
I have 2 x ESXi servers in a DRS cluster and a QNAP NAS which exports iSCSI and NFS storage.
The physical connectivity looks like this:
NAS connected to DGS on Ports 3+4. Static Link aggregation trunk (group1)
ESX1 connected to DGS on ports 5+6. No link aggregation
ESX2 connected to DGS on ports 7+8. No link aggregation
1. D-link switch is configured with Jumbo frames enabled.
2. NAS is configured with Jumbo frames (9000) and teaming using balance XOR - This seems to be working fine.
3. ESX1 is configured with Jumbo frames on vswitch (9000) and teaming using originating virtual port ID. 1 x active and 1 x standby vnic.
4. ESX2 is configured with Jumbo frames on vswitch (9000) and teaming using originating virtual port ID. 1 x active and 1 x standby vnic.
5. Ports 3-8 are configured to tag vlan 100 and 3+4 are part of a link aggregation group1 for NAS team.
The esxi networking and NAS config use vlan 100 config and I am able to comunicate with the managment interfaces on NAS and VMkernels on esxi. All esxi servers connect to NFS exports without a problem and I can ping and vmkping -s 9000 between esxi hosts and NAS.
This is a simple flat network setup and everything is on the same broadcast domain (vlan100) but I cannot get vmotion to work between esxi hosts - it starts and then stops at 14% until it times out. Is there any specifics or detailed d-link documentation about a supported configuration that anyone can point me to as I ran into these problems because I intrduced the D-link switch and configured Jumbo frames?
Any help is much appreciated.
Regards,
Wikus
