Hello,
I installed a VMWare Hypervisor 5.5 server and put 2 virtual machines on it.
The physical server has 2 NICs and connected to the LAN.
When I go to the virtual machine performance tab and look at the network data I see that most traffic is going over 1 vmnic.
The stats of the other NIC are most of the time plain 0 values.
see attachment...
Isn't this supposed to be spread over vmnic0 & vmnic1 ?
The vSwitch has loadbalancing on, if I turn loadbalancing on for the VMNetwork it doesn't seem to change much either.
When I add another virtual NIC and leave it unteamed I get the same result.
Will this only work when teaming 2 virtual NICs in the virtual machine or will it only use the second NIC when it reaches almost full load?
The problem is that I have issues with teaming the microsoft way, the server becomes unreachable for some reason (previous HP soft messed up something?)
I'm using the VMXNET3 NICs.
