Small office with 8-10 VMs max. Going to purchase 2 x Hosts + SAN (using iscsi). 4 port copper NIC within each host. Going to put hosts in cluster within vsphere. Switch stack will only have 1Gbps links for all traffic. Considering the following options and would like to obtain some feedback from others.
Option 1
1 x NIC for Management and vMotion. Enabling Network IO control and limiting vmotion traffic to ensure I don't kill management traffic
1 x NIC for Guest VM Traffic
2 x NICs for iscsi. Configured for isci port binding. taking advantage of multipath
Option 2
1 NIC each for MGMT, vMotion, iscsi and Guest VM Traffic
