We recently deployed a VNXe. We're using it for our vSphere 5.5 environment. We also just deployed vShield EndPoint. As I'm sure many of you know, when you deploy vShield Endpoint, it creates a vSwitch with a VMkernel port group with the IP address of 169.254.1.1. Every host that you enable for vShield Endpoint has the vswitch and uses the same 169.254.1.1 IP Address.
Everything works fine, but on the VNX side, we see the warning "one or more IP addresses of host <esxi host name> are conflicting with other hosts". Due to this, all the hosts with EndPoint show a warning status
The IP address conflict makes sense since the vSwitch on every host is using the same 169.254.1.1 IP address. I was just wondering if anyone else is having the same issue. It is not supported by VMware to change the 169.254.1.1 IP address and EMC support couldn't provide much help.
