Hi,
I have the following question regarding the network configuration in Hyper-V:
The Server has 2 dualport 1GBit/s NIC's with SR-IOV functionality. Both ports of each NIC are connected to 2 different switches. These 2 switches connects a second datacenter (2 Gbit/s interlink) , where another server with same config is located.
From these 2 servers I want to build a cluster for VM.
When I follow best practises for Hyper-V, I should supply different networks: Management, LAN, Cluster, Live Migration (Storage is SAN based). So I could use each of the ports in the dualport NIC's for the different networks and would have SR-IOV support - correct?
Now I'd like to get this more improved (fail-safe) and want to use NIC teaming (one team with NIC port connected to each switch) - but what I have learned is if using nic teaming SR-IOV is not possible, correct?
So what would be the best configuration in this case when SR-IOV is a concern? (Unfortunately the network infrastructure with its bandwith limitations is predefined and not that easy to change)
Any ideas and "real world solutions" appreciated :-)
Regards,
Markus
