No this will NOT work.  The storage heartbeat MUST be the lowest vmk.  When creating the vswitch, the very next thing to create is the storage heartbeat. See: en.community.dell.com/.../19997606.aspx -joe
Hello, I have 2 esx V4 and one equallogic During installation my boss create on vswitch with 2 connection without storage heartbeat. I decide with dell suuport communication to add storage hearbeat. But I see in a wite paper storage heartbeat at vmk1 but for me it is vmk4 Is it a problem or not.  In french  J'ai 2 esx avec une equallogic. Durant l'installtion mon boss a cree un vswitch avec 2 connection ISCSI mais pas de hertbeat. Maintenant je doit en cree un mais je vois sur toutes les doc que le storage heartbeat est en premier or moi il sera en dernier. Est ce un pb ou pas?  Merci
