Hi all -
I've been tasked with the troubleshooting of an issue with a SQL server vm and some packet loss. After reading some best practices documentation which points to using nic teaming on the VM that SQL server is installed on, I suggested this as a course of action - not necessarily a fix, but just something to at least do to create a baseline. Upon suggesting this, I was asked why 2x nics should be used and if there was any official documentation about this other than what is in the Best Practices PDF.
Honestly after looking i can't really find anything. I was also asked what aggregation protocols are available when using multiple nics and my eyes sort of glazed over. Thanks in advance for any insight!
