NIC Types Cannot Be Mixed

If you add new Network Adapters to a VLM then they must be of the same Adapter Type as
those already configured on the VLM.

If you install a Network Adapters with a different Adapter Type as those already configured on
the VLM the VLM will not recognize the new interface.

3.3

Static MAC Addresses Must Be Configured

In case you move a VLM system to a different Virtual Machine, ensure that the MAC addresses
of the Virtual Machine’s NICs stay the same. It is recommended to configure static MAC
addresses for all NICs within Virtual Machines.

For further information on configuring static MAC addresses, please refer to the relevant Hyper-
V documentation.

Make this VM Highly Available Option is Greyed Out

There is an option in the Virtual Machine Manager called Make this VM highly available. This
option is set when the Virtual Machine is placed on a host. Therefore, the option will be greyed
out, even when the Virtual Machine is not running. There is a way to work around this problem
without having to delete and re-create the Virtual Machine. The Virtual Machine can be
migrated. Follow the steps below to do this:

1. Open the Virtual Machine Manager console.
2. Right-click the relevant Virtual Machine that you want to make highly-available and

select Migrate.
