Although i also still have the virtual teaming issue with intel nics… seems the order still matters with fujitsu servers and quad port nics to Procurve gear. its a real pain

Well, this post is 1.5 years old, so I certainly hope the latest drivers have resolved the issue.

We have a HVr2 cluster with Broadcom BCM5709C NICs running v 6.2.9.0 (04/02/11) with BACS v 12.6.13.0 and have experienced no problems yet.

Live migrations running fine, teamed the VM NICs with LACP. Not experienced any of the issues described here. HVr2 servers are HP DL380 G7.

@William Lee

When you say "wo physical NICs plugged into different switches that have the ports in trunk mode"

You're talking about the two port of the NIC team? The two switches are stacked and not connected via a LAG?

Here is a great walk-though I made up of how we made this work on a ibm 3650 M3 and a HS22 and the rest of our environment. If you want to trunk the port, create one managed vlan and use this for host access. Then create a Broadcom untagged vlan, set it up to allow trunking on all vlans through scvmm and set the tagging on the hyper-v side assigning the untagged vlan to the guest. The mac address no longer stay on the host when it moves and you can change the ip back and fourth with no hitch. We tested this between a few different types and it works. Enjoy.

Can anyone else confirm if this is solved or not? I believe the issue is in the basp team driver. If it is working for you, please post the version of the basp driver you are running.

Driver version with the fix would be 14.2.4, A04: “- Several teaming driver, BASP, issues on Windows 2008/2008 R2 fixed. - Added Hyper-V Live Migration features with BASP teaming”

Too bad no one mentions the driver version, that would really be usefull. My broadcom has version 14.1.5. Teaming has broken my network load balancing with virtual machines.
