In all seriousness, it would depend on the switch backplane. I see no reason why this all couldn't go on a single switch, however, with iSCSI the network is really your platform. I'd like to have some flavor of stacked switches with a dedicated stacking backplane. This can be done with Cisco, Dell, HP, whomever...

HP "switches" wouldn't work well, they only have web scale. :) Shook -----Original Message----- From: Paul Hutchings [mailto:paul.hutchi...@mira.co.uk] Sent: Monday, September 27, 2010 3:10 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: vSphere Switch Config Query Looking at vSphere and a bunch of options we don't currently use so I'm investigating switch config. Those of you that are using iSCSI storage, vMotion and Fault Tolerance, what sort of physical switch config are you using please? We're only talking a couple of hosts and somehow it seems like overkill having a separate switch for iSCSI and a separate switch for the vSphere traffic.
