The example uses 2 DSS and 2 ESX Hosts - is it also possible to have a switchless config with one more ESX Host? So 2 DSS (for High Availability) and 3 ESX Hosts. I've attached s simple cabling sketch with just the storage net (without management network or pingnode...) and the necessary 10GbE NICs.
We have a config with 1 Open-E DSS and 3 ESX Hosts, connected with a 1GB Ethernet (including Multipathing 4x 1GB, which creates a big cabeling overhead) and want to upgrade to a second DSS with the 10GbE config - but before we can do so, I want to make sure that this configuration works.
