2.2 Network

There are no special network requirements mandated for VMware ESX interoperability. All
methods of networking, Link Aggregation, IPMP, 10 Gbe, are supported. It is recommended that a
private network be configured to handle the storage traffic between the VMware ESX servers and
the Sun Storage 7000 Unified Storage System. It is also recommended that some level of
redundancy be configured using either Link Aggregation or IPMP.
The examples below show an interface (Private-Net) created from a Link Aggregation of two
physical 1 Gb Ethernet ports (PrivNet-Aggregation). Those ports are also configured for LACP.
Consult your switch vendor documentation for details on enabling LACP and Link Aggregation at
the switch level.
