    Hi,

    there is no problem in moving the VMKernel interface used for NFS or iSCSI to the Nexus 1000V. You just need to configure the VLAN that is being used for NFS or iSCSI as a system VLAN on the uplink port-profile AND the actual port-profile used for the VMKernel interface.

    Here’s a sample config. Let’s say you will use VLAN 14 for NFS or iSCSI.

    port-profile uplink_port_profile_1
      capability uplink
      vmware port-group
      switchport trunk allowed vlan 10-14,21-22
      channel-group auto mode on sub-group cdp
      no shutdown
      system vlan 10-11,21-22
      state enabled
     
    port-profile iSCSI_or_NFS
      vmware port-group
      switchport mode access
      switchport access vlan 10
      no shutdown
      system vlan 10
      state enabled

    Same applies for the Service Console!

    Hope that helps

    Chris

    OK… Do you have ’spanning-tree portfast trunk’ enabled on switchports connecting the ESX host?

    Thanks,
    Brad

    Oh, also, do you have ’system vlan’ configured in the Port Profiles used as uplinks? And is the VMKernel’s VLAN listed in this command?

    Thanks,
    Brad

    Do you the ’system vlan’ command in the Port Profile in use by the VMKernel?
