I am running into trouble configuring the storage connections in a new VSphere 5.0 test environment. In our VSphere 4.1 environment it was possible to create a virtual switch add two Broadcom NetXtreme II 5709 NICs. Set both to active. Set IP Hash as load balancing. (Etherchannel LACP on physical switchs) This configuration used one kernel port and one IP address. Then add both our NetApp NFS storage and Equillogic ISCSI storage. In VSphere 5.0 I can't create this same configuration. Do I need to create separate vmkernal ports with separate IP addresses? The idea was to have redundant connections to storage and have the throughput of both NICS. Possibly adding additional NICS if needed in the futuer. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
How do I work around this:
"VMkernel network adapter must have exactly one active uplink and no standby uplinks to be eligible for binding to the iSCSI HBA."
