Storage Spaces Direct - Live Migration Uses Wrong Network
Good Morning all, The formatting in this text is the best I can do...even tabs/bullets do not seem to work I have read a LOT on this topic and here is a summary of the problem I am facing, plu...

MicrosoftHello Stephen,
Take a look at this doc under the prioritization and how to configure it:
https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/failover-clustering/configuring-network-prioritization-on-a-failover-cluster/ba-p/371683#:~:text=up%20to%20clients.-,This%20can%20be%20configured%20by%20right-clicking%20on%20the%20network,to%20connect%20through%20this%20network%E2%80%9D
Also:
Follow up questions:
• How do I test the 10GbE networks? Server-wise, a file copy should do the trick, for live migration: a test VM live migrated or maybe a test migration.
• How do I test the Cluster configuration for this problem? task mgr seems to be the easiest way because you would see the load increasing on an Ethernet and not the other one.
• How do I perform a file copy over a specific interface to prove/disprove the basic 10GbE connectivity? I would disable the adapter (I could not find anything either)

Why would you have VMQ turned on for the Cluster NICs? In my experience, turning that off helped the cluster obey the Cluster Network metric settings. And it won't be used in any cluster communications anyway, that is for the NICs that the Hyper-V machines can see.
