I've got a 2 node Server 2012 Hyper-V cluster, and each node has 6 gigabit NIC ports. 2 are dedicated to iSCSI traffic, but the other 4 are in a Team. When I Live Migrate 20+ VMs, it seems to me that I should be able to achieve at least 2-3Gbps (adjusting for network overhead and such) transfers. I realize there are a great number of ways to configure a team in Server 2012, and I've experimented with all of them: Static Teaming, Switch Independent, LACP, and each of these can either be Address Hash or Hyper-V port. I've occasionally seen brief spikes up to 1.5Gbps, but that's it. The rest of the time it's at a very steady 1Gbps.
I've got these servers connected to 2 ProCurve 2910al switches with a 10gb backplane, and the switches are not being taxed with any other workloads. When I use the LACP teaming, I have tried both LACP-enabled trunks and enabling Active LACP on the relevant ports.
My biggest question is: is this even feasible? Has anyone achieved 2Gbps+ Live Migration speeds without using 10gb NIC cards?
Anyone? Bueller?
