Cross posting from r/sysadmin since none of them really gave an answer to the question posed.
So i have a small SAN that consists of an HP MSA with 8 host ports (192.168.0.1-8), 2 Nexus 9300s, and a windows host with 4 10gig NICs on 2 cards. Each card has a single connection to both switches. I setup a NIC team consisting of all 4 NICs on the windows server then created 6 vNICs (ISCSI1-4, MGMT, and cluster). The ISCSI vNICS are assigned IPs 192.168.13-16. I have setup VLAN 1000 for all switch ports connecting the SAN as well as on the ISCSI vNICs.
After getting everything setup i was surprised to find that i could only ping half of the host ports on the MSA from any given ISCSI IP. This would be expected if only utilizing physical NICs but i thought the LBFO on the team would be smart enough to send the packets out the correct physical ports. Is this expected behavior or do i have something configured incorrectly? If anybody could point me in the direction of where i can find more information on how teams/vNICs interact with the underlying physical hardware that would be awesome.
Thanks in advance!
