We have a host server (2012r2) set up with 4 virtual machines (2008R2 and 2012) on it. The host server has network cards that are on the HCL list. For performance tuning, do I still need to disable the Jumbo packet, Large-Send Offload, and the IPv4 checksum offload settings? Or has 2012R2 taken care of some of the networking issues from 2012? We plan on running 5 2012r2 hosts, each with 3-4 2012r2 web servers and 1-2008r2 ActiveWebGrabber (pdf generator) server. I am curious is we still need to tune the hosts network cards, the Team, and the virtual network cards on all of the virtual machines. Thank you.
We tried running this previously, but did not have network cards on the HCL and did not have the checksum etc settings disabled. Very slow results and it would blocked itself and take a bit of time for the packets to clear.
