Plus, if you have two network interfaces on each guest, that doubles the
amount of real storage that gets used (and _fixed_) by the network driver.
The number of pages that get fixed is configurable, but then that's just
one
more thing to have to do for each

When you run something like SAP under Linux, a little bit more storage for
the network driver isn't an issue :-)

Hi, Tobias,
While I don't know the answer to your question, let me take a stab at what
I think you maybe asking. The failover for the VSWITCH if the OSA
connection goes down is handled by the VSWITCH and specifically the TCPIP
Controller. So whether or not the two OSAs communication with BPDU

No, they do not communicate. There is no load balancing or link
aggregation, either. When the

The single VSWITCH solution requires that both OSA's are in the same
subnet,
right? And hence the same gateway?
Yes
Must be some more limitations I can think
of (Multipath workload balancing I already mentioned)
I can't think of any, but I'll defer to the networking gurus on the list.

Hi Tobias,
This is not an answer exactly more of a question.
If you have two OSA cards why would you want to use VSWITCH High
Availability rather than a full network High Availability solution?
What I mean is why not use two VSWITCHes each connected to its own OSA in a
standard manner, and
If you have two OSA cards why would you want to use VSWITCH High
Availability rather than a full network High Availability solution?
Because it's a *lot* easier to configure?

VSWITCH looks a lot (to me) like bridged ethernet in VMware.
Seems worthwhile to draw accurate comparisons for the sake of
understanding one or the other or both.
This would make a good topic for FreeVM-L.
