Dell R710 NIC teaming issues
-
(cont) I'm planning on installing the Hyper-V role after everything is ready to deploy. I know it's not best practice to install a GUI, but that's how this company does things. I've had the discussion not to but we do anyway.

Why not use remote tools instead of logging directly into the HV?
Who said anything about a HV?
PMs
I asked if there was a plan to virtualize this server - answer yes - later.Plus the host in the picture says "HV".
My mistake... should have said this is a host. Didn't think that mattered though since I didn't plan on teaming within the Hyper-V role as I've understood that to both not be best practice and I thought it wasn't even an option in 2008/R2 but maybe I'm mistaken.
Definitely always team on the host as you are attempting.
have you already assigned the NICS to a vSwitch?Edit, n/m you said HV role not there yet.

I have access to a machine that has 2012 R2 Standard (GUI installed) + Hyper-V role and the broadcom software was installed, but when I gained access, I did the team via powershell. Doubt I can check the software helpfully there, but let me look anyway.

Checking the Broadcom software would help me... cause BACS 3 on YouTube shows Team Management should be there. But with this one it's absent.
-
I've tried teaming in 2008R2 with broadcom software once. It did not go well. It was a couple years back or I'd offer something more informative.
Best of luck Sir.

@BBigford yeah nothing on BACS 4 even shows the team that I made in windows itself.

PowerShell gives me errors right off the bat... hmm

I think that you have to set them both into teaming mode somehow then you can create a new group. Try something like that.

I know it's been a while, but any idea how to set them in team mode? The only thing in the console with the word "team" is "Restore Team"... If you click on that, it just looks for a config file (obviously doesn't exist... since this is a new install).

@RojoLoco stated that 2008/R2 did not have the native ability.

Can the Broadcom Software do it?

It's supposed to. In the pics I posted, there are zero options for it though. There should be a section for "Team Management" where you can create the team. Then the team will show up like in the pic Jared posted.
-
Right, according to this Dell video, there should be an option to create a team.
He does not have the option.
-
I guess they don't have to be in a team... As far as a bridge, I was under the premise bridging just sends everything through one adapter, which would create a bottle neck. Like when you bridge a virtual machine's adapter through the host adapter for connectivity.
-
Problem would be solved if @BBigford was allowed to use Hyper-V Server 2012 or newer. But he is constrained to Server 2008 R2.

I am assuming you installed latest firmware, drivers and SNMP for the Broadcom NIC's?
I jsut decommissioned my last 2950 that had Broadcom in it. I know they were teamed and we did it through the BACS software not the base drivers. Exactly where though I do not remember it wasn't obvious I remember that much unlike version 3 where its right there

Yep, grabbed from Dell. Also tried from Broadcom. Same result.

For reference, this is the image from the video that shows what to do, but is not there for him.

I'm an idiot. I hurried through the filter and didn't see "Team View". Sorry for wasting everyone's time. You can configure the team from there. BACS 3 had Team Management on the main page, BACS 4 has a filtering option.
