I trying to tune our Service profile template for our Hyper-V deployment.
At this time, our setup looks like this:
Nic Name | Role | Offloading technology | MTU | FI |
E0 | Management | None | 1500 | A + B failover enabled |
HeartBeat | Heartbeat | None | 1500 | A + B failover enabled |
Live Migration | LiveMigration | RSS | 9000 | A + B failover enabled - RDMA is being tested. |
SMB-104 | Link 1 of 2 for SMB storage for VM's | VMQ | 9000 | A w/o failover - * |
SMB-105 | Link 2 of 2 for SMB storage for VM's | VMQ | 9000 | B w/o failover - * |
SMB-102 | Link 1 of 2 SMB storage for Host | RSS | 9000 | A w/o failover - RDMA cannot be implemented with current RDMA support |
SMB-103 | Link 2 of 2 SMB storage for Host | RSS | 9000 | A w/o failover - RDMA cannot be implemented with current RDMA support |
VM-A | Link 1 of 2 for Tenant vSwitch | VMQ | 9000 | A w/o failover - ** |
VM-B | Link 2 of 2 for Tenant vSwitch | VMQ | 9000 | B w/o failover - ** |
Notes: RDMA is disabled for all NICs, in windows and in the Cisco Adapter policies. * Each vNic is a single member virtual switch - Two nice are presented to the VM's and the NICS are teamed in the VM to access SMB share on our Scale out file server. ** The Tenant vSwitch is teamed in the host. Only one nic is presented to the VM's. SMB-102 and SMB-103 are the links used by our hosts to access our Scale out File Server VIA SMB 3.02 |
Can anyone review this and let me know their thoughts? Any ways to improve on this ?
Thanks

Hardware failover by the FI is no more recommeded. This was a feature of W2008, when MSFT didn't have teaming and failover bundled with the OS; with W2012 this is now changed.
