Hello,
I'm building an SMB3 SAN for Hyper-V machines (just like everyone else on the planet), and i have a question regarding RSS. I'm trying to implement a "converged" network, so that everything is software defined.
The server has a total of 6 Nics, which are all Broadcom based, and are all RSS Capable.
My initial reaction was to throw them all into a single team, create a vSwitch, and then create 5 vNics, one for management, 4 for SAN. The SAN nic's are all on different subnets.
When Teaming RSS nics, and throwing them into a switch, and then creating vNic's on top, am i loosing the "RSS"-ability ? Or will the RSS still function "under the hood" even through get-smbservernetworkinterface is saying the nic's are not rss capable ?
I'm having a hard time justifying SMB3 over iSCSI on the same hardware, when everyone appears to be saying it is going to perform exactly the same, but from my testing - its really not even close. The only advantage is the ease of setup (if you can get over the constrained delegation part!)
