Hi All,
Looking for some direction on what Network driver to use (VMXNET3, E1000 or E1000E) . Currently on Windows 2008 we use E1000 which has served us well and we havent had any issues.
Our config on hosts are 2 x 4gb uplinks for the public traffic. My concern is if we use VMXNET3 it gives the OS 4Gb. We then build around 50 VM's on a single host which uses the same 4Gb host uplink. Then we have 8 VMware hosts in same HP C7000 using the same 10Gb uplink that is presented to the enclosure.
Are we creating a bottle neck which gives virtual machines 4Gb uplink when using vmxnet3 and potentially using the entire uplink for on the host. Thoughts/Opinions??
