Thank you.<br />
I am using ESXi 6.0<br />
On the low priority network I am planning to use for the backup traffic. There will be some files &amp;&nbsp;database which I will be taking backup with some backup tool.<br />
This traffic should not impact my actual production traffic.

I have a &nbsp;ESXi host with 2 * 10 Gbps Physical adaptors.<br />
The Physical Adaptors are mapped to vmic0 &amp;&nbsp;vmnic4. &nbsp;These are connected to the Physical L2 switches with LACP.<br />
I have vDS with default NIOC settings.<br />
<br />
Now i am creating a vmkernal port which I be using only for the backup traffic which needs to be of low priority.<br />
This traffic will also flow through vmnic0 &amp;&nbsp;vmnic4 but this traffic should not impact by production VM traffic and other production traffic.<br />
Let me know how should I configure NIOC for this kind of traffic &amp;&nbsp;set the priority.

Vsphere NIOC - Configuration

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.
