What has been your experience with converged networking?
Is it reliable?
I have been experiencing multiple problems with converged networking in VMM + Server 2012 R2. Our config is pretty straight forward: VMM is used to team two 10Gb NICs and a logical switch is created. Under the logical switch, we have 3 vNICs: mgt, cluster
and live migration.
The problem is that the one or two virtual NICs under a logical switch somehow go missing after a node restart. This problem is not reproduceable, happens intermittently and over three separate clusters on three different brands of hardware and inside two separate datacenters. This has caused major downtime in production.
Multiple support tickets with Microsoft have resulted in nothing other than "nuke and pave"......essentially delete the converged networking config and recreate it.....only to fail again.
Very frustrated! I am ready to give up and check VMware's solution.
