Hi Walter

We tried teaming from WIN2k12 blade server and after configured the teaming it sends huge arp-storm to Nexus 7k core switch.

Another observation from blade adapter automatically restarted every 45mins once.

Any idea why its happend.

Thanks in Advance.

Hi Mohan

I assume you have installed the proper enic/fnic drivers, according the support matrix:

Regarding Teaming: have a look at

http://www.thomasmaurer.ch/2015/04/overview-on-windows-server-and-hyper-v-2012-r2-nic-teaming-and-smb-multichannel/

http://www.thomasmaurer.ch/2012/07/windows-server-2012-hyper-v-converged-fabric/

How did you setup Teaming ?

I think it should be switch indedendent / dynamic NOT LACP
