How to correctly configure dVMQ for VM's

$

Question

I’m trying to configure dVMQ on my Windows Server 2012 R2 Hyper-V Host with a NIC Team consisting of 2x10GBit NIC’s. I’m expecting my VM’s to get a queue on both of the Team NIC’s, but only getting a queue on one of them. Am I missing something?

Please review the below for details on my current configuration and expectations.

Host: Model & CPU

Server model: Dell PowerEdge R620

Server OS: Windows Server 2012 R2

Number of CPU’s: 2

Hyper-Threading: Enabled

Number of Cores, per CPU: 8

Number of Logical Processors, per CPU: 16

Host: NIC and Team

Team NIC #1: Intel(R) Ethernet 10G 4P X540/I350 rNDC

Team NIC #2: Intel(R) Ethernet 10G 2P X540-t

Teaming Mode: Switch Independent

Load Balancing Mode: Dynamic

Host: NIC dVMQ Setting: Base- and MaxProcessorNumber

Set-NetAdapterVmq -Name "Team NIC#1" -BaseProcessorNumber "2" -MaxProcessorNumber 8

Set-NetAdapterVmq -Name "Team NIC#2" -BaseProcessorNumber "18" -MaxProcessorNumber 7

VM/Virtual Machine 1-4

Processor Count: 2

vNIC: 1

What I’m expecting

-         Team NIC#1 to use CPU#1, Logical Processors: 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16

-         Team NIC#2 to use CPU#2, Logical Processors: 18 20 22 24 26 28 30

-         All VM’s to have it’s dVMQ in three places: Team NIC#1, Team NIC#2 and Team.

What I’m getting

Running “Get-NetAdapterVmqQueue” shows the following:
