Proliant DL360-G6 running Win Server 2008 SBS Premium- can I team NICs and how to?

I am running a Proliant DL360 G6 server, with Windows Server 2008 SBS Premium. I would like to Team the NICs to improve performance throughput for iSCSI attached storage. I understand that SBS only supports one NIC and one IP address.

Is it possible to Team the dual-NICs at the HP hardware level for use by SBS with the single IP address assigned?

If so, what is required in SBS08 configuration for this to be available and functional?

Any additional cautions to be aware of?

-thanks in advance!

Hi, HP has a software to do network teaming.

Tried to install that and run "Proliant Networking Software"?
It's pretty straight forward to set up a team in the utility. There may be some configuration needed on the switch-side.
