Virtual Machine Queues

Hi,

I ran into a problem with my VM's falling off the network under load a couple of years ago.  It turned out to be a problem with Broadcom chipsets and disabling "Virtual Machine Queues" in the advanced properties resolved the issue.

Here is one of many links to the issue -  (Microsoft KB2902166)https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2902166

Is this issue strictly related to -

Windows 2012 R1?

1Gb Broadcom NICs?

I now have 10Gb network, which VMQ is really meant to be used.

I cannot find any information for -

* Has the issue been fixed

* Q-Logic has purchased some broadcom chipsets, which one's does this apply to?  Is this also a Qlogic issue?

* My new servers have daughter cards that have 2 1Gb NICs and 2 10Gb NICs, does this situation apply to this hardware?

* Is this only for Windows 2012 R1?   Whereas Windows 2012 R2 does NOT have this issue?

Hello

The article states it is a driver issue. That is a very old issue that should not exist with current drivers. Qlogic uses the same drivers across several network cards and operating systems.

Thanks
