CentOS7 VM/Hyper-V Host to 10G NIC
Posted: 2019/02/13 20:09:32
CentOS 7.2.1511 on Windows 2012 R2 host.
We've been migrating from 1G Ethernet to 10G Ethernet. The host has its drivers and is using one of the X550 NIC ports without problems. My concern is how the CentOS VM will see a 10G NIC when we migrate the VM to it. Currently the VM shows this when running lshw:
*-network
description: Ethernet interface
physical id: 1
logical name: eth0
serial: 00:15:5d:02:17:05
capabilities: ethernet physical
configuration: broadcast=yes driver=hv_netvsc firmware=N/A ip=x.x.x.x link=yes multicast=yes
Will I need to install newer drivers or does anyone know if hv_netvsc will simply allow for greater bandwidth once the VM is moved to the new 10G NIC?
