Intel I350 base-T BONDED PAIR throughput SUCKS!
- 
 anybody know what sort of blip i'll see if i disable vmq in a live environment? a second or two? would end users notice? 
- 
 I doubt that they would notice, but it's possible. 
- 
 lol yeah, that's the consensus. meh, we dont know haha 
- 
 Not sure I've ever heard of someone trying it. Maybe just do it during lunch? What kind of workload(s) is it? 
- 
 sql tier to EMR and a dc 
- 
 Anything external talking to SQL Server? 
- 
 DC will definitely be fine. 
- 
 all of the workstations that access EMR (60 or so) query sql 
- 
 It has been over a year since I did this on a running system. I do not recall any big issue. Performance was so crappy though that even a quick blip would have just be ignored. 
- 
 I like Scott's idea, warn the management at least that you are doing it, and do it over lunch if they approve, otherwise schedule for tonight. 
- 
 they havent been whining about performance today so i'm just gonna wait til tonight
