4. Using Teamed Adapters in Hyper-V

Exporting a team to a virtual machine allows for isolation of virtual machine traffic and

allows the virtual machine to be moved to other machines without having to modify

the virtual machine.

Note: The use of VLANs is not supported under Hyper-V. In Hyper-V environments

only NIC Teaming's Native VLAN should be used. To provide VLANs to

Virtual Machines (VMs), define them within the Hyper-V Manager and within

each adapter's driver.

Note: The following notes apply to using teamed adapters in Hyper-V.

NIC Teaming may be used in the Hyper-V host. Its use within VMs is not

supported.

Use of the Hyper-V Virtual Network Manager is recommended for using

VLANs withe virtual machines. Virtual networks should be created using the

adapter instance or the Native VLAN instance of a team and the VLAN tag

should be added when adding a virtual machine to the virtual network.

Hyper-V must be installed to use Emulex teamed adapters in Hyper-V.

TCP Offload does not occur in virtual machines.

When configuring a Smart Load Balancing (SLB) team with Hyper-V, the SLB

team requires a static IP address assigned in the network connection properties.

All virtual machines that use this SLB team type will also be required to use

static IP addresses.

DHCP is not supported in an SLB team running in Hyper-V mode.

On the OCe10102 UCNA for Hyper-V virtual machines that use the Failover,

LACP and 802.3ad team types, both the primary and secondary adapters do not

have RSS support. The OCe11102 UCNA does not have this limitation and is

fully supported.

Note: For complete instructions on creating virtual networks, see the appropriate

Microsoft Hyper-V documentation.

Deleting Hyper-V Teams

When deleting a team that was configured in a virtual machine, you must complete the

following procedures:
1. Use the Virtual Machine Settings to remove the adapter from the virtual machine.
2. Use Hyper-V Manager to remove the team from the Virtual Network Manager.

Note: For complete instructions on removing the adapter from the virtual machine

and removing the team from the Virtual Network Manager, see the

appropriate Microsoft Hyper-V documentation.

3. Use the OneConnect NIC Teaming and VLAN Manager to remove the team. See

“Configuring a VLAN” on page 773.
