I've spent time searching this and haven't found either what I was looking for or an article that I can understand. I have a dell 1950 with ESXi 4.1, both nics are connected to a port-channel on a cisco sup IV. It works ok as I can create several virtual machine port groups and vm kernel ports to allow different hosts on different vlans, but it appears I am not utilizing the agregation of the port channel. The load balancing policy exception is set to "Route based on the originating virtual port ID". From the articles I have found it appears that the proper selection would be "Route based on IP hash" However when I select this option I get error messages on the console of the router module stating that the host is flapping. Also when I do a show ethernet summary on the Cisco it shows the 2 ports in that group are connected but in stand-alone mode
Any ideas?
