Just a quick question on your comment

"This virtual NIC is not liked by the SQL Server installation, which will complain and fail. You will need to "unteam" the NICs via the HP software and then you can disable or assign another IP address to them."

I keep reading about this issue over and over on the blogs but have been running virtual nics for years with my cluster. What sort of problems does SQL Server have with this setup so that I can watch out for it or not use when we rebuild our next one?

Thanks
