I have been helping a customer a while with their Hyper-V environment and now I saw on twitter that HP had new Emulex drivers that could be downloaded so I thought that I should give it a try, there has been quite a storm about the problems with VMQ and Emulex and if you want to read more about that you can check out this link to my friends at Hyper-V.nu . My experience of this problem is that it have been on Gen8 HP blades with a newer Emulex networking on them. Right now I only had G7 to test on.

 

As a best practice I run the Hyper-V hosts in Core but that did not give me any issues when installing (yes I use VMM bare-metal deployment and will after verified success update that to have this latest drivers )

 

As it is networking drivers I lost my RDP session for a few seconds before it was fully installed and then I could see the result

 

And checking with powershell Get-NetAdapter I can verify that the GUI is not lying 😛

 

And also you can see that the VMQ is enabled for my two NIC´s

 

Here you can find the HP drivers for in this case a HP BL460 G7 .
