Hyper-V Network Connectivity Issues with Emulex Adapters

  • Article

I retweeted this late last week, but wanted to mention it here on my blog.  Emulex has just published a blog post talking about a known issue that is causing network connectivity problems for Hyper-V VMs when using Emulex network adapters.  They have also explained how to work around this until they have a final fix ready.  You can read about it here:

I am blogging about this for two reasons:

  1. I have been contacted by a number of customers who have hit this, and want people to know about what to do.
  2. It is really good to see a hardware vendor documenting status and workarounds for known issues, and I am glad to see this post going up.

Cheers,
