hi,

in previous versions of hyper-v, 1 parent virtual nic supported, in windows server 2012 hyper-v, multiple nics supported. in addition, can share physical nic bound hyper-v switch management operating system.

to enable functionality, open hyper-v manager. in actions pane, select virtual switch manager. in virtual switch manager, select switch. in details pane switch, illustrated below, select allow management operating system share network adapter.

you can create multiple parent virtual nics use live migration, storage, , management; , can assign each virtual nic different virtual local area network (vlan). can create different quality of service (qos) polices each virtual nic.

to create virtual nics management operating system, type following commands @ windows powershell prompt, , press enter:

add-vmnetworkadapter –managementos –name management

add-vmnetworkadapter –managementos –name storage

add-vmnetworkadapter –managementos –name “live migration”

if have single nic or team of nics bound hyper-v virtual switch, can use multiple parent virtual nics well.
