thanks.
yeah...im confused by the trunk as well. I am not sure why it was done. I plan to desolve one going to one of my hosts to see if there is any reason not to just desolve them all and run with 2 pnic connections without them trunked together (hp trunked that is).
My post is a bit confusing and long.
Bottom line is i want to introduce a second physical switch for my virtual machine nics to plug in to. I also want redundancy.
So....
Switch1 -->pnic1 from host 1
Switch2 -->pnic2 from host 1
Run 2 uplinks between both switches for redudnancy sake.
tag all ports involved.
turn on spanning treee (which i believe is on by default in procurves world)
done?
seems simple.....i just dont want to miss anything.
