simple question about networking best practice - traffic separation for storage

$

Excuse the newbie question...

 

I am reading up on best practices for network separation for VMware.  I see that often things are set up like this (I got this from another post here that was deemed acceptable for best practice type config):

 

vSwitch0

Service Console - vmnic0 Active - vmnic3 Standby

VMkernel - vmnic3 Active - vmnic0 Standby

 

vSwitch1

VM Port Groups - vmnic1 and vmnic2 Active

(Multiple trunked VLANs)

 

What about storage traffic.  I've worked with other hypervisors where storage is often broken out.   For iSCSI or NFS storage, would you create another vSwitch2, with it's own NICs to be used primarily for the storage network?

 

Thanks
