hi i have a DL380 G5, in configured HP teaming and put all settings to automatic (recommded) and left everything else default assigned an IP address to the HP team and everything works well and status shows 200mb full , (i have 10/100mb switches not giga), and it shows status transmit load balancing with fault tolerance (TLB) i noticed that in the HP team nic1 is tx/rx and nic2 is transmit only mode i wanted to test the HP team so i disconnected the nic that is in transmit only mode and i can no longer make any RPC calls but icmp and nslookup for instance continue to work. when i plug the transmit only cable back in the situation remains the same, only when i unplug the tx/rx nic do things start to work again. when i plug the tx/rx nic cable back in the hp team goes back to 200mb full and everytying works. conclusion is unplugging tx/rx nic is okay but unplugging the tx only nic causes the hp team to stop working. i have installed lastest firmware and nic drivers being driver version 9.3.0.0 and nic hardware is NC373i running on windows 2003 r2 x64 enterprise edition. i tested other dl proliant servers i have (windows 2003 sp2 standard x86) and with the same settings i do get a working failover without any of the above issues. anyone else seen this? cheers i t
