Nutanix on HPE ® ProLiant ® 4. General Best Practices | 13 Figure 4: Guest Network Active Adapter Selection Use the following commands from any CVM to set the active and standby adapters of all ESXi hosts in a Nutanix cluster for the CVM Network and Guest Network port groups: for i in `hostips`; do echo $i; ssh root@$i 'esxcli network vswitch standard portgroup policy failover set -a=vmnic0 -p="CVM Network" -s=vmnic1';done for i in `hostips`; do echo $i; ssh root@$i 'esxcli network vswitch standard portgroup policy failover set -a=vmnic1 -p="Guest Network" -s=vmnic0';done Refer to the vSphere Administration Guide for Acropolis on the Nutanix Support Portal for specific configuration considerations related to ESXi. Storage Traffic Between CVMs in AHV In the default AHV network configuration with two uplinks, configure one adapter from the AHV host as active and one as backup. You can't select the active adapter in such a way that it persists between host reboots. When multiple uplinks from the AHV host connect to multiple switches, ensure that adequate bandwidth exists between these switches to support Nutanix CVM replication traffic between nodes. Nutanix recommends redundant 40 Gbps or faster connections between switches, which you can achieve with a leaf-spine configuration or direct interswitch link. Refer to the AHV Networking Recommendations section in the AHV Administration Guide for further best practices when bonding 10 GbE NICs together.
