Get-NetAdapter | FT
Name,InterfaceDescription,Status,LinkSpeed
b. To create a virtual switch connected to all of the physical network
adapters, and to then enable SET, issue the following command:
New-VMSwitch -Name SETswitch -NetAdapterName
"<port1>","<port2>","<port3>","<port4>"
–EnableEmbeddedTeaming $true
c. To add host virtual NICs to the virtual switch, issue the following
commands:
Add-VMNetworkAdapter –SwitchName SETswitch –Name SMB_1
–managementOS
Add-VMNetworkAdapter –SwitchName SETswitch –Name SMB_2
–managementOS
d. To configure the host virtual NIC to use a vLAN, issue the following
commands:
Set-VMNetworkAdapterVlan -VMNetworkAdapterName "SMB_1"
-VlanId 5 -Access -ManagementOS
Set-VMNetworkAdapterVlan -VMNetworkAdapterName "SMB_2"
-VlanId 5 -Access -ManagementOS
NOTE
Network Quality of Service is used to ensure that the Software Defined
Storage system has enough bandwidth to communicate between the
nodes to ensure resiliency and performance. To configure QoS on the
adapter, see “Configuring QoS for RoCE” on page 259.
NOTE
The preceding commands configure the virtual NIC from the
virtual switch that you just configured for the management
operating system to use.
