I am in the process of building a VM to run Exchange 2010. I have a separate NIC card with 4 ports that I would like to dedicate specifically to this VM. I'm new to virtual networking so my question is what is the best way to go about binding these 4 ports to this one virtual machine?<br />
<br />
Do I just use the HP Networking Utility to Team the 4 ports and then assign it to the VM?<br />
<br />
At the moment this is the only thing I can think of doing. If anyone else has any better solutions I would love to hear about it.

Virtualization is the act of creating a virtual (rather than actual) version of something, including (but not limited to) a virtual computer hardware platform, operating system (OS), storage device, or computer network resources. Virtualization is usually the creation of a system that executes separate from the underlying hardware resources, or the creation of an entire desktop for systems located elsewhere, similar to thin clients.

Virtualization

Network design and methodology, also known as network architecture, is the design of a communication network. It is a framework for the specification of a network's physical components and their functional organization and configuration, its operational principles and procedures, as well as data formats used in its operation. In telecommunication, the specification of a network architecture may also include a detailed description of products and services delivered via a communications network, as well as detailed rate and billing structures under which services are compensated.
