Oh ok, I took a closer look, those channel group mode active are connections to EMC Celerra data movers (port channel 2, 3 and 4).
The only vSwitch on my ESX hosts that have 2 nics attached is the "Storage Network" which is VLAN10. The same VLAN the EMC Celerra NFS / iSCSI traffic talks on.
So I just checked and these ports are not trunked at all on the switch.
interface GigabitEthernet1/0/9
switchport access vlan 10
spanning-tree portfast
interface GigabitEthernet1/0/17
switchport access vlan 10
spanning-tree portfast
I'm surprised this works at all... 2 links from a server without a port channel setup. Though one nic is onboard broadcom and one is an intel add on card. I should be able to team them though correct?
Here is the current config screen shot. I'm just not sure if what the consultant did in 2010 was optimal or not. Thank you for looking.
