I have a BL460c server with an additional Mezzanine NIC card. My C3000 enclosure has two GbE2c switches.
I have set up a HP Network Team with one port from the embedded NIC and one port from the mezzanine NIC to provide a redundant link through both switches to the LAN.
The team connects but constantly drops one port (embedded) with status "Failed (Rx Path)". It repeatedly tries to pick up the second port but then reverts to the status identified above.
Any suggestions as to what I might have done wrong?
Thanks,
John

Windows 2008 X64
Used the HP NCU
Team Type Selection : Automatic
Transmit Load Balancing Method: Automatic
Is that what you were after?

Re: NIC Teaming with two GbE2c switches in C3000
I tried your suggestion to set NFT. The load balancing greys out but I assume it still does load balancing. Unfortunately, the problem remains. After a second or two one of the NIC's is disabled. The event log actually says "All but one is disabled". Because there are only two, it means just one of the two NIC's is disabled.
I have found a reference which says Tree Spanning should be disabled on the switch ports to which this server connects. I haven't been able to work out how to disable Tree Spanning on individual switch ports on the GbE2c. I can only find where I can disable Tree Spanning by VLAN.
Would you recommend I try that?
Thanks,
John

>> # /cfg/l2/stp 1/port 20
>> Spanning Tree Port 20# fastfwd ena
>> Spanning Tree Port 20# apply
>> Spanning Tree Port 20# save
I would try to force the team mode to TLB. By default Port 17 and 18 are members of Trunk group 1, make sure trunk 1 is enabled and can carry traffic of the VLAN where the Ports connected to the teamed NICs belongs.

Re: NIC Teaming with two GbE2c switches in C3000
I thought ports could pass traffic for more than one VLAN. I'm guessing I need to change configuration to allow that to happen, but I'm not sure what that may be.
Thanks,
John

Solution>> Main# /cfg/port XX
>> Port XX# tag e
>> /cfg/l2/vlan XX
>> VLAN XX# add XX(Port)
then apply and save, with this config port 17 and 18 will be able to talk on VLAN 1 and 10.

Re: NIC Teaming with two GbE2c switches in C3000
I have set both the iSCSI and LAN Teams to TLB with fault tolerance. I have left the TLB method as Automatic. Is that what you would recommend?
Thank you very much for your replies and also thank you to the other respondents.

Re: NIC Teaming with two GbE2c switches in C3000
I also have 2 blades running VMware ESX 3.5 with a similar setup i.e. teaming one embedded and on mezzanine port together. This may be outside your area of expertise, but should I apply Port-Fast enabled to those ports as well?
