NICteaming meansgrouping several physical NICsinto a single logical NIC. NIC teaming enhances fault tolerance by increasing availability of a server’s network connection. Multiple network pathslet youbalancnetwork traffic for better performance. Microsoft Windows Server 2008 HyperV is a scalable, hypervisorbased virtualization platform forprovisioning and managingvirtual server workloads. NIC teaming and virtualized platforms can work together to increaseefficiency of largescale enterprise systems.This HOWTO paper defines a stepstep procedure for installing the software and implementing C teaming.oftwarerequirementsing NIC teaming on an HP ProLiant server in a HyperV environment requires the followingsoftwareHP ProLiant Network Teaming SoftwareHP Network Configuration Utility (NCU) version 10.10 or greater. Itis in HP ProLiant Support Pack (PSP) 8.60 on the HP SmartStart CD. Itis also available from http://www.hp.com Microsoft Windows Server 2008 HyperBeforeinstalling the teaming software, verify HP ProLiant server supportefer to theHP paper “Implementing Microsoft Windows Server 2008 HyperV on HP ProLiant Servers Order of installationou must install and enablethesoftware in the following order:Install and enable the latest version of HyperV from MicrosoftReview and install the appropriate Windows updates and hot fixesidentified at “HyperV Update List for Windows Server 20 and “HyperV Update List for Windows Server 2008 R2 sing Windows Server 2008 R2 Server Core or Microsoft® HyperV™ Server 2008 R2requires you toinstall the hot fix “Windows Server 2008 R2 Server Core Install and enable the HP ProLiant Network Teaming Software. 3 NOTE If you install the teaming software before installing HyperV, the network adapters may stoppassing traffic. To resolvethis issueuninstall both the HP teaming software and Hyperandthen reboot the servereinstall HyperV and then the teaming software. There is no known method of uninstalling HP ProLiant Teaming software on machines running Windows Server 2008 Server Core. We are developing atool for removing the teaming software. Itwill be available on the HP website in the future. Werecommend that you configuranymachine that will runServer Core, HyperV, and teaming during the initial installation using theorder of installation described above. Uninstalling teaming softwareIn Windows, selectStartControl PanelDoubleclick on the Network Connections icon. The Network Connections window appears as shown below. Rightclick any Local Area Connection icon and select PropertiesIn the list of protocol and services, select HP Network Configuration Utilityand click UninstallAfter you uninstall the utility, the operating system typically asks if you want to reboot the server.

After the system reboots, no instances of a teamed device should appear in the Network Control panelo references tothe HP Network Configuration Utility should appear n the property sheet (shown below). If HyperV has been installed on the system, uninstall it now.After removing the HP Network Configuration Utility and HyperV from the system, begin the installation. Install and enable HyperV first; then install the HP Network Configuration Utility. �� &#x/Att;¬he; [/;ott;&#xom ];&#x/BBo;&#xx [5;h.5; 28;&#x.92 ;չ.;ږ ;`.4; ]/;&#xSubt;&#xype ;&#x/Foo;&#xter ;&#x/Typ; /P; gin; tio;&#xn 00;&#x/Att;¬he; [/;ott;&#xom ];&#x/BBo;&#xx [5;h.5; 28;&#x.92 ;չ.;ږ ;`.4; ]/;&#xSubt;&#xype ;&#x/Foo;&#xter ;&#x/Typ; /P; gin; tio;&#xn 00; 5 &#x/MCI; 0 ;&#x/MCI; 0 ;Creating an HP Network TeamOnce you have installed theHP Network Configuration Utility, a network team may not be created if you selected any of the network interfaces to be configured as part of a team under HP Network Configuration Utilityduring the installation of HyperV. To create an HP Network Team, proceed as follows.If any network interfaces were selected during the installation of HyperV, remove them from the Virtual Network Managerelect the interface in the left hand navigation screen and click the remove button. Once you have removed all intended network interfaces from the navigation window, click to apply the changes. A confirmation popup will appear to confirm the changes to the MicrosofVirtual Networkclick Yesto continueWith the installation of HyperV, Microsoft installs and binds the Microsoft Virtual Network Switch Protocol to the network interfaces. You must deselect this in the properties window for each network interface tobe configured as part of a team in HP Network Configuration Utility. 6 If the Microsoft Virtual Network Switch Protocol is selected and enabled in the properties screen foranyof the network ports, the Team, Dissolve, and VLAN options will not be avlable in HP Network ConfigurationUtilityas shown below select �� &#x/Att;¬he; [/;ott;&#xom ];&#x/BBo;&#xx [5;h.5; 28;&#x.92 ;չ.;ږ ;`.4; ]/;&#xSubt;&#xype ;&#x/Foo;&#xter ;&#x/Typ; /P; gin; tio;&#xn 00;&#x/Att;¬he; [/;ott;&#xom ];&#x/BBo;&#xx [5;h.5; 28;&#x.92 ;չ.;ږ ;`.4; ]/;&#xSubt;&#xype ;&#x/Foo;&#xter ;&#x/Typ; /P; gin; tio;&#xn 00; 7 &#x/MCI; 0 ;&#x/MCI; 0 ; &#x/MCI; 3 ;&#x/MCI; 3 ;4.
