My friend Mark worte: >Even on my legacy VM systems (no Linux guests at all) I define a VSWITCH with two OSAs (connected to different real switches), and the only thing attached to the VSWITCH is the TCPIP virtual machine. Prior to VSWITCH the TCPIP machine attached to both OSAs and VIPA provided for high availability. I don't need MPROUTE any more, just simple static routing. Much easier to support.
And someday we'll have layer 2 VM stack and all the OSA's in LACP mode happily sharing the workload over that whole farm of OSAs we have laying around. Then we can say we're done and Chuckie can retire. Wait, he's way too young. We'll find something else interesting for him to do.
