Group,
We are trying to install a new ESXi 5.1 server with just two NICs attached to a network via a LACP enabled LAG.
The issue for us is that the boot option only offer interface, vlan, tag/untagged and IP address as an option while building the unit. There is no option for teaming or enabling LACP.
All references for enabling LACP refer back to using vSphere for the configuration but we can't get access to vSphere until we have network connectivity and to get our desired design we need LACP enable to get to vSphere.
My questions.
1. Is it possible to build a LAG and enable LACP on a ESXi server without access to vSphere?
2. if yes how?
3. If no what's the recommended process to get a server built with our desired design?
a. Server 2 NICs ONLY!!!
b. LAG with LACP to the network.
Any input welcome!!
Thanks
Kevin
