Hyper-V Networking–NIC Teaming

Advertise

Hi Ben,

But, how do you create the Team inside the guest? For example, now in 2012 you can create the Team by the Windows itself if it's the guest operating system. But, with, for example Windows Server 2003 as guest, Microsoft leaves all the work to the network adapter software made by the manufacturer. In real hardware, if you have an HP computer with HP network adapter, in wich you install Windows Server 2003, HP must provide the software required to create the Team (of course in the case that the hardware support it) wich makes it transparent to Windows Server 2003 itself.

In the case of virtualized machine in Hyper-V, the manufacturer of the Virtual Synthetic adapter is Microsoft, so where is the software to create the Team inside that Windows Server 2003 computer?. And with the Legacy adapter? (as I remember this last one is emulated from real hardware).

Thank you and Cheers,

Akuma.
