https://community.hpe.com/t5/bladesystem-general/bl45p-g1-win-2008-network-teaming-problems/m-p/4463906#M6700 I'm trying to rejuvenate a pair of first-generation BL45p servers with Windows 2008 x64. The product info page has drivers for the BL45p and Windows 2008, and gives me a link to PSP 8.25. For the most part, everything in the installations went without issue.<BR /><BR />My problem is with network teaming. I have NCU 9.60.0.7 and HP NIC driver 12.0.0.6. I'm trying to create a team from two of the NC7782s and one of the NC7781s. Saving the configuration appears to work, and there is a new Local Area Connection created in the Windows network control panel, but it's always shown as "network cable unplugged." TCP/IP and the other services remain enabled on the individual NICs. The network team never shows up in NCU. The network team does appear in the Windows device manager.<BR /><BR />I've tried creating smaller teams, and a team with just 7782s. Team type doesn't matter either. Nothing works. There are no errors in the Windows event log, and I don't see where NCU creates a log. All my other Windows 2008 installations have been on c-class blades, and they've been point-and-shoot. <BR /><BR /> Tue, 21 Jul 2009 14:56:56 GMT AccuMegalith 2009-07-21T14:56:56Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/bladesystem-general/bl45p-g1-win-2008-network-teaming-problems/m-p/4463906#M6700 I'm trying to rejuvenate a pair of first-generation BL45p servers with Windows 2008 x64.
