If you want to use FT then you will need 6 uplinks. If you are happy to drop FT off then you can use 4 uplinks. The configuration would be;

 

vSwitch0 - Management

Management - vmnic0 active / vmnic3 standby

vMotion - vmnic0 standby / vmnic3 active

 

vSwitch1 - VM Networking

VM - vmnic1 active / vmnic2 active

 

Where vmnic0,1 are using inbuilt NIC ports and vmnic2,3 are using mezz NIC ports.

 

You could put all uplinks and networks on a single vSwitch but in my experience this makes maintenance harder and more complex. Also you need more complex active/standby NIC configurations.

Paul
