My server hardware hasn’t changed
4 x 1GB NIC's on a Quad adapter
2 x 10GB NIC's on a Dual adapter
If you've seen my previous posts you'll
see that I created teams in Server Manager
Click on Tasks and create a virtual Switch
Select the NIC’s you want to add to the Team, In the above
example you can see I left the Additional properties as default
I left the default options under additional properties.
The next step is what I’ve been doing incorrectly for some
time, thankfully I got some great advice
from some friends and I suggest you
read his blog.

My network is slightly different so my script is different although I used Aidan’s
as a template.
I have added some additions from Technet article - http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn550728.aspx
Storage – Switch and vNIC (283)
Do not put a Virtual Switch on top of the Storage network
Create team and assign vLAN from Windows teaming
Create team and assign vLAN from Windows teaming
**********************
Production Switch and
3 x vNIC’s, MGMT(101), Live Migration (2828) and VMNetwork (102)
New-VMSwitch “ProductionNetSwitch” -NetAdapterName “Production” -AllowManagementOS 0
Add-VMNetworkAdapter -ManagementOS -Name “MGMT” -SwitchName
“ProductionNetSwitch”
Set-VMNetworkAdapterVlan -ManagementOS -VMNetworkAdapterName
"MGMT" -Access -Vlanid 101
Add-VMNetworkAdapter -ManagementOS -Name “VMNetwork” -SwitchName “ProductionNetSwitch”
Set-VMNetworkAdapterVlan -ManagementOS -VMNetworkAdapterName
"VMNetwork" -Access -Vlanid 102
Add-VMNetworkAdapter -ManagementOS -Name “LiveMigration” -SwitchName “ProductionNetSwitch”
Set-VMNetworkAdapterVlan -ManagementOS -VMNetworkAdapterName
"LiveMigration" -Access -Vlanid 2828
What will I end up with??
This script will give you a virtual switch
ProductionNetSwitch
Then it will give you 4 x vNIC's total
Storage on VLAN 283
VMNetwork 102
MGMT 101
Live Migration 2828
What does that look like in real life?
