config trunk in VMware

 Identify VMNICs 

VMware names them as they boot up so not always in the order you might thing.

Easiest way is plug in the port and watch the VMware interface to see if it shows as up.

Also a good idea to enable CDP on the VMware and the switch on the other side.

We  want to run at least 2 high bandwidth (10gig plus) cables from switch to VMwrae.
