We are moving towards a clustered vCenter and I've read everywhere that VLANs are your best friend when configuring these types of environments. Our hosts will have 8 physical NICs to work with.
My main issue is, I would have liked to have our Management vmkernels on a separate VLAN than all our VMs, but it doesn't look that our network team provided a separate VLAN for that purpose and it will have to share the same subnet as one of our port groups.
Some background:
We're using VLAN100 for Management Kernels (Assigned one physical NIC),
VLAN100, VLAN110, VLAN120 (Assigned 3 Physical NICs)
routable VLANs (130,140,150) for (vMotion, HA, ISCSI).
vMotion (One NIC), HA (One NIC), ISCSI (2 NICS for Port Binding).
My question is, are there any potential pitfalls with having your Management vkernel on the same VLAN or subnet as one of your VM Port Groups assigned to VMs?
