Hi..
Two months back I wanted to know if 6x 1Gbit ports (1 quad and 1 dual) combined with 4x 10Gbit ports (2x dual) would be a supported configuration.. I, as you, also had doubt when reading the config max doc..
I made a SR asking this question... The answer to this was: "Yes, you config will be fully supported by VMware"
Maybe you too should file a SR with this question.... Just to have something in writing for the future.
