A couple of questions:
1. If we wanted to set up iSCSI connections for guests such as SQL servers, what is the best way to handle this? For example, if we had four 10-Gb NICs and wanted to use as few of them as possible, is it common to turn two of the NICs into Virtual Switches accessible by the OS, then use these to connect both the host and the SQL guests? Or would the best option be to use two 10-Gb NICs for the Hyper-V Host's iSCSI connections only, and use the other two 10-Gb NICs as virtual switches which are dedicated to the SQL server iSCSI connections?
2. I know MPIO should be used for storage connections instead of teaming; if two NICs are teamed as a virtual switch, however, does this change anything? For example, if a virtual switch is created from a NIC team of two 10-Gb NICs, is it acceptable to create an iSCSI connection on a network adapter created on that virtual switch?
