I'm working on standing up a HyperV2012 cluster using ISCSI boot to a Netapp filer. I've got the servers to boot just fine using one Nic, but as soon as I add a second Iscsi boot adapter for redundancy stops loading windows and takes me to the 2012 recovery menu. Our chassis is running 2.0(5a). I was told when setting up 2008 with IScsi boot that I could not use the native failover capabilities and we needed to set up a primary and secondary Iscsi adapter to be sure we could boot if one of the Fec's was not available. Is that still true? Does anyone have this up in there environment?
Thanks in advance

I was able to resolve this myself. The issue was that the drivers for the other nics were not being loaded correctly. I let the server boot with a single Iscsi nic, removed the misconfigured nics in device manager and then added them back in with the correct driver. After doing this the server was able to boot with 2 Iscis connections.
