When using Multiple-NIC vMotion in vSphere 5.x, ensure that all VMkernel ports configured are in the same IP subnet/VLAN on all hosts. For more information on configuring Multiple-NIC vMotion, see
Multiple-NIC vMotion in vSphere 5 (2007467).
Do not use multiple VMkernel ports that have been configured for vMotion for any purpose other than Multiple-NIC vMotion. When using a single VMkernel port for vMotion, all hosts participating in vMotion migrations must also have their vMotion VMkernel interface in the same IP subnet/VLAN.
Note:
VMware vSphere 6.0 supports as a licensed feature two forms of routed L3 vMotion connections:
- Metro cluster connections subject to RRT limitations
- Cross-vCenter connections
For additional information, see vSphere vMotion in What’s New in the VMware vSphere 6.0 Platform.
