How To Configure NIC Teaming For Windows
Article: 108
Applies to: All releases
The CQNICCMD utility is installed with the Network and Teaming
Configuration Utility as part of the ProLiant Support Pack for Windows. It
allows you to script NIC teaming commands. This is very important when imaging
a server to avoid possible issues when deploying the image.
IMPORTANT: Creating,
modifying, or dissolving network teams causes the network connection to be
reset. When the network connection is restored, the Deployment Agent
reconnects to the Deployment Server, but does not remember its location in
the current task. Therefore, the task never shows as complete. If you are
running a task to create, modify, or dissolve NIC teams before other tasks,
you should run the task as a separate job and be sure it completes fully
before executing the next task.
To create a job that saves the NIC teaming configuration to a local file and then dissolves the teams:
| 1. |
Create a new job named Save and Dissolve NIC Teams
| a. |
Add a Run Script task with the following options:
|
| Field |
Value |
|
| Run this script |
REM Save and Dissolve NIC Teams
cqniccmd /s c:\nicteams.xml
cqniccmd /d
|
|
| In which OS would you like to run this script? |
Windows |
|
|
|
| 2. |
Execute the new job on the managed server(s).
