Hi,
We are in the process of identifying our networking troughtput and firewall requirements for a V2V / P2V conversion between two vSphere clusters.
The clusters belongs to two different companies in the same building and we have multiple 10Gbit connections between us.
But I want to make sure we do the right VLAN and firewall config and to do that I need to understand how the converter actually moves the traffic.
When it comes to P2V (ie virtual machine is on) the virtual machine needs to have connectivity from its production VLAN towards the new ESX hosts management interface?
For a V2V would that be done from the source hosts management interface towards the new hosts management interface?
The VMotion vmk would not be used at all as far as I can understand?
Both hosts and vSphere are at 5.5U2.
