Hallo. On the host I have 2 ethernet NICs and 2 HBAs. In XenCenter I see them as "network 0" and "network 1". In XenCenter I renamed "network 0" as "MGMT" and disabled the flag to automatically assign it to VMs, and "network 1" to "VNET", because I want it to be dedicated to VMs. Then, when creating Physical Network, I gave it name VNET (globally) and assigned to blue icon (internal management traffic) the MGMT label, and to green icon (VMs traffic) VNET label. I didn't include red icon (storage) because it should be via HBAs. Are these settings wrong? I set primary storage as "PreSetup" and gave same SR-label used in XenCenter to identify it. Is it ok?
