In the fully converged network topology, all storage ports from the server are connected to the same network fabric. In the host operating system, the NIC ports are used for both storage and management/compute traffic. The following figure shows this configuration in the host operating system.
Figure 7. Host operating system network configuration in fully converged topology with two NIC ports
In this host operating system network configuration, a SET is created with two or four physical ports and virtual adapters in the host operating system that is implemented for Storage 1, Storage 2, and Management traffic.
Note: The number of virtual storage adapters in the host operating system must match the number of physical ports in the SET.
The following figure depicts using four NIC ports for the Switch-Embedded Team in a fully converged topology. Figure 8. Host operating system network configuration in fully converged topology with four NIC ports
The storage adapters in this configuration can use either one, two, or four VLANs.
