The bandwidth figure listed is quite a bit lower than I thought would be recommended. I was a little surprised to read the figures in the below table from the VMware docs site and I’ve highlighted the numbers I’m interested in for HCX vMotion.
I threw out a figure that I knew was well in excess of what would be required for HCX (and all the other services that need to be run over the link) but it got me thinking How bad could the link get before even basic HCX services would just stop working? I had a conversation with a colleague recently about VMware HCX, specifically around network requirements and the minimum link specifications we’d need to have between two sites so that the basic functionality would work as intended.
