Hi All,
Im reading this technet article when having 2 NIC in a team, that are shared for the Host (Host, CSV, LiveMigration) and for the VMs http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/891c6ec4-deb9-447b-afc1-3b01151d9e4b(WS.11)#bkmk_2
I configure QoS:
# Create a NIC team that consists of two 10GbE NICs New-NetLbfoTeam “2x10GbE Team” –TeamMembers “10GbE NIC1”,”10GbE NIC2” –TeamNicName “2x10GbE” # Create a Hyper-V Virtual Switch that binds to the NIC team New-VMSwitch “20GbE switch” –NetAdapterName “2x10GbE” –MinimumBandwidthMode Weight –AllowManagementOS $false # Create a virtual NIC in the management operating system for SMB (storage) Add-VMNetworkAdapter –ManagementOS –Name “SMB” –SwitchName “20GbE switch” # Create a virtual NIC in the management operating system for Live Migration Add-VMNetworkAdapter –ManagementOS –Name “LM” –SwitchName “20GbE switch” # Create a virtual NIC in the management operating system for Cluster Add-VMNetworkAdapter –ManagementOS –Name “Cluster” –SwitchName “20GbE switch” # Create a virtual NIC in the management operating system for Management Add-VMNetworkAdapter –ManagementOS –Name “Management” –SwitchName “20GbE switch” # Assign a weight to SMB Set-VMNetworkAdapter –ManagementOS –Name “SMB” –MinimumBandwidthWeight 40 # Assign a weight to Live Migration Set-VMNetworkAdapter –ManagementOS –Name “LM” –MinimumBandwidthWeight 20 # Assign a weight to Cluster Set-VMNetworkAdapter –ManagementOS –Name “Cluster” –MinimumBandwidthWeight 5 # Assign a weight to Management Set-VMNetworkAdapter –ManagementOS –Name “Management” –MinimumBandwidthWeight 5 # Assign a weight to each VM Set-VMNetworkAdapter –VMName * -MinimumBandwidthWeight 1
My question is regarding the last line where I set the MinimumBandwidthWeight 1 for each of the VMs. This doesnt seem right to do, if I have 200VMs on a host wont that utilize 200% of the vSwitch? And also this cant be applied if I dont have any VM yet on the server.
Can this be done on the vSwitch it self with the command: set-VMSwitch -DefaultFlowMinimumBandwidthWeight 50.
Does this mean that the entire traffic from all of the VMs that dont have MinimumBandwidthWeight defined will be in 50% (i have 100 VMs, so each VM will use 50%/100=0.5%) or each VM will get 50% (100VM, each uses 50% = 5000%)?
Thanks
