Best practices • HP StorageWorks recommends installing Hyper-V on top of a redundant RAID configuration with a RAID controller that has battery-backed cache enabled. Do not use RAID 0. • The virtual NIC labeled seth0 is the default and required virtual NIC for SAN/iQ and iSCSI. Note – the Description, Speed & Duplex columns under the TCP Status tab will show “Unknown” for seth0. This has no functional impact on the actual speed or performance of this virtual NIC.
