To configure active-active teaming and set the failover order for the vSAN and vMotion port groups on a distributed switch using the vSphere Client, follow these steps:

Log in to vSphere Client:

Open the vSphere Client.

Enter the username: administrator@vsphere.local.

Enter the password: VMw@r3!123.

Click Login.

Navigate to Networking:

From the home screen, click on Networking in the left-hand navigation pane.

Select the Distributed Switch:

Locate and select the distributed switch that the vSAN and vMotion port groups are using.

Edit vSAN Port Group Settings:

Right-click on the vSAN port group and select Edit Settings.

In the Edit Settings window, click on Teaming and Failover.

Configure Active-Active Teaming for vSAN:

In the Teaming and Failover section, you will see the list of uplinks.

Ensure that both uplinks are set as Active Uplinks.

To do this, drag the uplinks from the Unused Uplinks or Standby Uplinks section to the Active Uplinks section if necessary.

Ensure that no uplinks are in the Standby Uplinks section (all should be in Active Uplinks).

Set Failover Order for vSAN:

Ensure the failover order is correctly set to use both uplinks for active-active teaming.

Click OK to save the changes.

Edit vMotion Port Group Settings:

Right-click on the vMotion port group and select Edit Settings.

In the Edit Settings window, click on Teaming and Failover.

Configure Active-Active Teaming for vMotion:

In the Teaming and Failover section, ensure that both uplinks are set as Active Uplinks.

Drag the uplinks from the Unused Uplinks or Standby Uplinks section to the Active Uplinks section if necessary.

Ensure that no uplinks are in the Standby Uplinks section (all should be in Active Uplinks).

Set Failover Order for vMotion:

Ensure the failover order is correctly set to use both uplinks for active-active teaming.

Click OK to save the changes.

Verify Configuration:

Check the Networking section to verify that the changes have been applied correctly and that both port groups are using active-active teaming with the appropriate failover order.
