During initial deployment we went with a simpler network design by letting secondary storage traffic run over the management network. We would like to offload secondary storage to a separate network, and are trying to figure out the best method of doing so.
Based on the recommendations in the documentation we would need to add a new Physical Network, and add the "Storage" traffic type to that network. Could we instead just add a new traffic type to the existing network, just set up the specified VLAN + Storage subnet on a separate NIC on the hypervisor? For Primary Storage the NIC used is just determined by the hypervisor's routing table, so wouldn't it work the same for the secondary storage network, or is there a reason it should be added as a separate Physical Network in CloudStack?
