vCMP on c2400 - VLANs and guests

When deploying a guest across multiple blades in a vCMP cluster, do all of the guest's VLANs need to be physically trunked to the blades the guest is provisioned on?

 

For instance, if VLAN1000 is trunked to blades 1 and 2, but a guest using VLAN1000 is provisioned on blades 3 and 4, is this a valid design? Will the vCMP cluster/backplane get the network traffic to the right place?

 

thanks!

    i understand it is workable but you should trunk interface from all the blades. otherwise, if that blade is down, you will be disconnected from network.
