Dan,
Thanks this is really helpful. I'm just a little confused though about running etherchannel and nic teaming, can we clarify ->
Nic teamning does not always = link aggregation (on the VMware side of things) correct?
In order to use link aggregation on the vmware side = I will need nexus 1000v licensing correct?
Am I able to use active/active nic teaming w/ nexus licenses, if so do I need link aggregation?
I'm worried mostly about the traffic going to and from our database server, we have noticed some congestion and if I could bump up the throughput on those wires I'd love to.
