Do I need to use all the 8NICs for vSphere 5.1?

Hello

We just buy a new server to replace an older for enforcement of a vSphere 5.1

We use no distributed vSwitch and use a FC SAN (iSCSI or NFS).

Wonder if we should use only 6 cards (2 for management / 2 for VM / 2 for vMotion) OR we should allocate 4 NICs for VM?

Your opinion is requested.

Thank you

It is not common for the virtual machines to have need more then 2 x 1 Gbps when CF storage is used. Almost never see bandwidth as the bottleneck, so I think that with the help of 6 x 1 Gbit/s should be sufficient. If it isn't then adding one shouldn't be too big of a deal either
