In a vSphere environment, physical network resources are shared across multiple virtual machines and services. The ability to ensure that sufficient capacity is available across shared resources is therefore important. If a single virtual machine or a VMkernel network service, such as vMotion or Fault Tolerance, saturates the available network capacity, other virtual machines and services, including host management services, may be adversely impacted.

Follow these steps to design a resource management scheme:
- Identify the traffic shaping and network resource controls that are available on the virtual network switches.
- Determine the network resources required for different traffic...
