Configuring vMotion on ESXi to use multiple NIC ?

Hi All,

I'm using single ESXi 5.5 U3 servers with 2x NICS connected to 2x NICs at the QNAP TVS-471 NAS,

At the moment I can see that when running svMotion, it only uses one cable or one path only ?

How to configure it so that it uses both path for additional throughout ?

Thanks.

ok, here's what I'm trying to do:

ESXi server:
1x NIC for server management traffic
2x iSCSI connection for Data
1x free unused

1x iLO

QNAP TVS-471 NAS:
1x NIC for NAS management traffic
2x iSCSI connection for Data
1x free unused

Okay, this is what I would suggest is...

completely remove the existing iSCSI vSwitch.

Setup from scratch as per my document, follow it step by step with screenshots.

then we can discuss, vMotion as this what this question was originally posted and about.
