AnswerHyper-V live migration - multi path for memory transfer

    Hi!

    I have 2 NICs in each node for the cluster HB which are also used for the transfer of memory data during a live migration. This works without problems, but as expected only one NIC is used for the transfer. Is there a chance to use both NICs for the transfer? If I move a machine with more memory attached to it, the migration takes quite a time to finish. There is a second NIC available so I would like to use it.

    Thanks for your help,
    Andreas

    Did you considere teaming both nics ?

    I would first add in more NIC's and then team them.
    If you only have 2 and you team them than public/private/LiveMigration/CSV all need to go over the same, I am not sure if I would do that.
