Fortunately, both VMware’s vSphere and Hyper-V’s System Center Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM) provide trial versions so you can test feature implementation for yourself and decide if free is good enough, or if a licensed feature is worth paying for. Or that free Failover Clustering works just as well for you as paying for VMware HA. However, VMware and Hyper-V implement features differently, and you may find paying for vMotion to be a better fit than free Live Migration. It is possible that all the virtualization features you require are available in the free version of Hyper-V or VMware. For example, Live Migration and Failover Clustering are available with Hyper-V, and the corresponding features in VMware – vMotion and VMware HA – are not available until you purchase a VMware “Essentials Plus” license. If you look at the features available in the free hypervisor versions, Hyper-V provides more functionality than ESXi. Which is better and how do you decide between them? Second management IP address although cannot be pinged from Windows/Linux, only can be pinged and reached from VMware CLI, so use vmkping to check the extra active IP management address.Download our vSphere vs Hyper-V comparison matrix – both technologies can provide redundancies that will maximize your uptime and that will allow you to squeeze out the most performance. So you need at least two adapters to have two different IP management address to reach the VMkernel. The "only" limitation here is the physical adapters. With trunk ports you can have all your current VLAN's in one virtual switch. If it's an access port with a tagged VLAN, then no need to add the VLAN there, only the IP address. When it's a trunk, then you must add the VLAN number to the kernel management port. Also, the connection can be a trunk connection or a fixed tagged VLAN. From there you can use a different VLAN(s), it doesn't matter.
So always one adapter active for the current IP address and attached for the iSCSI binding. This is how you create round-robin connection for iSCSI adapters, for example.
It does not matter, even so if you use one virtual switch with multiple adapters, then you can override the active-passive adapters. You are right, you can reach the box via different VLAN and or IP block.
