Best practices for creating NIC Team / 8 NICs - Only ONE VM will run under this Host

What options do I have for creating NIC teams using a LACP configuration?

I have aDell R720 with 2 quad-NIC adapters and the Hyper-V Physical will run only ONE VM, the VM will be a 1 TB File Server and 100 users/clients using these VM file server

The Dell PE R720 Server and its 2 X quad-port adapters is connected to a single HP Switch 2620, all 8 NICs in the same Switch. All 2620 Switch ports are 100 Mb/s ports and all users are connected using 100 Mb/s ports although users having Broadcom 1 gb/s adapters, the cabling, swiching and Ip Phoes, limits users to 100 Mb/s conenctions.

I´m thinking about creating a Team with 2 adapters, for management purposes and another Team with 6 adapters for VM usage.

Team-LAN = 2 NICs

team-VM = 6 NICs

It will be a good approach, considering the goloa here is to provide for the file server users, some degree of  redundancy and the best performance the users can have.performance??

It will be a good idea to use NIC teaming INSIDE the VM, configuring the VM to Team its virtual adapters?
