I would like the community advise on the correct route for connecting 2 esxi servers to an AFF using sfp+ without the use of a L2 switch. Goal is to have the same NFS datastore mounted on both servers.
Direct connection from each server NIC to a port on each controller. This is to provide redundancy in case of link or controller failure.
Is one subnet possible for multiple ports, so the same mount IP can be used from different hosts, or should the esxi hostfile be used for allowing different mount IP but same DNS name?
I really cant be the first to encounter this scenario and would like to know what is the recommended path.
Thanks
