NIC teaming using EtherChannel leads to intermittent network connectivity in ESXi
When trying to team NICs using EtherChannel, the network connectivity is disrupted on an ESXi host. This issue occurs because NIC teaming properties do not propagate to the Management Network portgroup in ESXi.
When you configure the ESXi host for NIC teaming by setting the Load Balancing to Route based on ip hash, this configuration is not propagated to Management Network portgroup.
Solution:
After setting the load balancing property to Route based on ip hash for vSwitch0, set the same for Management Network portgroup.
To configure the NIC teaming properties:
Select the ESX Server host.
Click the Configuration tab.
Click the Networking link.
Click Properties link for the management network portgroup.
Highlight the virtual switch in the Ports tab and click Edit.
Click the NIC Teaming tab.
Choose Route based on ip hash from the Load Balancing dropdown menu.
Verify that there are two or more network adapters listed under Active Adapters.
Use these commands if the host does not stay connected to vCenter Server after the vSwitch load balancing policy change:
# vim-cmd hostsvc/net/vswitch_setpolicy --nicteaming-policy=loadbalance_ip vSwitch0
# vim-cmd hostsvc/net/portgroup_set --nicteaming-policy=loadbalance_ip vSwitch0 "Management Network"

Setting the number of cores per CPU in a virtual machine
- Power off the virtual machine.
- Right-click on the virtual machine and click Edit Settings.
- Click Hardware and select CPUs.
- Choose the number of virtual processors.
- Click the Options tab.
- Click General, in the Advanced options section.
- Click Configuration Parameters.
- Include cpuid.coresPerSocket in the Name column.
- Enter a value (try 2, 4, or 8) in the Value column.
The virtual machine now appears to the operating system as having multi-core CPUs with the number of cores per CPU given by the value that you provided in step 9.
- Click OK.
- Power on the virtual machine.
Create an 8 vCPU virtual machine and set cpuid.coresPerSocket = 2. Window Server 2003 SE running in this virtual machine now uses all 8 vCPUs. Under the covers, Windows sees 4 dual-core CPUs. The virtual machine is actually running on 8 physical cores.
Only values of 1, 2, 4, 8 for the cpuid.coresPerSocket are supported for the multi-core vCPU feature in ESX 4.x.
In ESX 4.0, if multi-core vCPU is used, hot-plug vCPU is not permitted, even if it is available in the UI.
Only Hardware Version 7 virtual machines support the multi-core vCPU feature.

For MD3600f /MD3620f:
esxcli nmp satp addrule -V DELL -M MD36xxf -s VMW_SATP_LSI
To add a claim rule:
Login to the ESX host as root. Run the command:
For MD3600i/MD3620i:
esxcli nmp satp addrule -V DELL -M MD36xxi -s VMW_SATP_LSI
For MD3600f /MD3620f:
esxcli nmp satp addrule -V DELL -M MD36xxf -s VMW_SATP_LSI
