Windows Server 2022 File Server Cluster | Network Teaming
Hello Microsoft Community, I have a Windows Server 2022 File Server Cluster (all physical nodes) running with SMB shares. At present, it is not configured with NIC teaming. We are planning to setup NIC teaming. I am going to add an additional network adapter to achieve this. Since this is a production file server server. It tried to perform NIC teaming in a test environment. Upon setting up network teaming, File server clustered roles do not come online and fail. It registers an Event ID 1049 about duplicate IPs despite the fact that I have deleted old network adapter via device manager (show hidden devices). New network adapter comes online without any previous knowledge of IPs. When setting up old IP scheme on a new individual network adapter, File server clustered roles come online successfully. However, setting up the old IP scheme on teamed network adapter, it registers Event ID 1049 about duplicate IPs and roles shows a status of Failed instead of Stopped. What would be a best way to achieve network teaming on an existing file server cluster without setting up the cluster from scratch?
