To have vmnic3 and vmnic4 in active/active replace:
[CODE]esxcfg-vswitch –link=vmnic3 MainGuestVirtualSwitch
esxcfg-vswitch –link=vmnic4 MainGuestVirtualSwitch[/CODE]
with
[CODE]echo “Creating MainGuestVirtualSwitch which will host the main networking VLANs”
esxcfg-vswitch –add MainGuestVirtualSwitch
vmware-vim-cmd internalsvc/refresh_network
esxcfg-vswitch –link=vmnic3 MainGuestVirtualSwitch
esxcfg-vswitch –link=vmnic4 MainGuestVirtualSwitch
vmware-vim-cmd internalsvc/refresh_network
esxcfg-vswitch –unlink=vmnic3 MainGuestVirtualSwitch
esxcfg-vswitch –unlink=vmnic4 MainGuestVirtualSwitch
vmware-vim-cmd internalsvc/refresh_network
esxcfg-vswitch –link=vmnic3 MainGuestVirtualSwitch
esxcfg-vswitch –link=vmnic4 MainGuestVirtualSwitch
vmware-vim-cmd internalsvc/refresh_network[/CODE]
and yes I know it looks redundant
