Given: A HP ProLiant server to be used for Hyper-V server (R 2)

Problem: The server has a HP NC364T quad port card, which actually is an Intel 1000 Pro adapter. We are stuck getting this adapter properly working.

We need to get it working with:

• 2 trunks of 2 ports each
• one of them fully vlan "aware" (without filtering anything - so that Hyper-V can do the VLAN filtering).

So far we did:

• Install the server
• Install latest PSP. Problem here - tool does not work to set up teaming.

We tried to install the latest ProWin pack from Intel - the drivers there are a LOT more current (26th of Marrch 2010, 9.13.41.0). The intalled driver (Microsoft) is ancient (march 2009, 9.13.4.10)

A driver update fails both on command line (pnputil) as well as the PortLock device manager executable. No informatoin is provided. the ANS toolset can not create teams (fails with error - again, no reason provided), I know of no logs and the event log has no information either.

Questions:

• What are the best drivers to use?
• How do we actually install them?
• How can we then set up teaming and how do we set up the VLAN behavior wanted?
