6. In the Settings window, click Teaming and failover and select Override under Failover order.
7. Make one of the physical NICs active and set the other to standby (not unused). Do this for the other
iSCSI guest port group and use the other adapter. This prevents the guest OS from detecting a link

a standby prevents this I/O delay. For the guest OS to manage this function, set the alternate NIC to
unused.
8. The last thing to do is assign new virtual Network adapters to the VM and attach the iSCSI guest
networks to the new adapters.
