SC420 - Two NIC Teaming & BACS
Hi Guys,
I feel a bit embarassed since I've set up teaming before with no problems. Anyway, I have an old SC420, 2.8Ghx, 3Gb and I've just added two 750GB SATA drives in a hardware RAID 0 array and my plan is to use as a storage server.
I've got the onboard Broadcom NIC and a Dell Branded Intel PRO/100 S Server Adapter installed and I have Broadcom's Advanced Control Suite 3 installed.
Now, when I go to set up the virtual adapter/teaming in BACS, the Team Management menu is just not there. I know it should be because I have other servers using it.
Any ideas? I'm probably missing something basic so I would appreciate you taking it easy on me. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Thanks for the advice but still nothing. I've gone into Add or Remove>BACS>Modify but it shows all installed. Tried to choose install all on this computer, installed and rebooted and the same thing. I've also uninstalled, reinstalled, checked that SNTP is enabled, etc, etc and the teaming menu option is just not there.
Any other words of wisdom please?

I'm stumped now. I had a guess that it was the mismatched NIC's which has not caused a problem before but I read in another post that this could cause a problem. So, I've now installed a gigabit Broadcom nic and I can see the teaming menu.
So now I go to create the team. I try to add the onboard Nic and it tells me that this NIC does not support teaming. There is no reason why it shouldn't since I have two other 420's with teaming enabled.
I'm stumped and would appreciate anyone's input. Could it be a jumper setting or something I'm just overlooking?
Any help please...
