Hi All,<br />
<br />
I'm in the process of adding vMotion to our ESX servers and have followed this guide <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7njBRF2N0Z8" rel="ugc">link</a>.<br />
<br />
I have a couple of follow up questions.<br />
<br />
<br />
1. &nbsp;What are the options in red for, and should I enable them on my dedicated vMotion NIC<br />

2. &nbsp;What IP addresses do I assign? &nbsp;Should I pick one from our main vLAN?<br />

Hi All,

I'm in the process of adding vMotion to our ESX servers and have followed this guide link (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7njBRF2N0Z8).

I have a couple of follow up questions.


1.  What are the options in red for, and should I enable them on my dedicated vMotion NIC


2.  What IP addresses do I assign?  Should I pick one from our main vLAN?



Many thanks

VMware, a software company founded in 1998,  was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies.

VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture.  Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.

Virtualization is the act of creating a virtual (rather than actual) version of something, including (but not limited to) a virtual computer hardware platform, operating system (OS), storage device, or computer network resources. Virtualization is usually the creation of a system that executes separate from the underlying hardware resources, or the creation of an entire desktop for systems located elsewhere, similar to thin clients.
