Using VMM to manage you Hyper-V NIC teams created with BACS
Using BACS version 11.6.10 you can create NIC teams in you Hyper-V Server to ensure Virtual Machines connectivity and manage your BASP NICs from Virtual Machine Manager. Just follow these easy steps
- Remove any existing External Virtual Networks connected to the NICs that are part of the team
- Use BACS to create your team, configure the desired team Type, add the NICs involved in the team and add the VLANs you want
- Refresh the Host in VMM. Now you should see your BASP Virtual Adapters in the hardware of your host like this:
- Once these adapters show up in your Host in VMM you can create one external Virtual Network for each Virtual BASP Network Adapter
- Connect a VM to the desired Virtual Network adapter.
- Now your VM is connected to a VN that provides the Failover and High availability provided by BACS
Note that this is a result of some tests I did on my machines and is not ensured to work in all environments and not officially supported by VMM or Hyper-V
