I recommend you the following configuration:
– 2x Dedicated NIC for Hyper-V management (LAN, Live-Migration, Cluster, Backup)
– 2x Dedicated NIC for VM workload
– 2x Dedicated NIC for iSCSI

Ideally, the NIC that supports iSCSI should be dedicated to iSCSI only. But you have only 4 NICs. So either you buy another NIC with 2x 10GB or unfortunately you have to converge the iSCSI with dedicated NIC for Hyper-V Management. But the QoS management will be difficult 🙂

I hope I have helped you 🙂

Regards,

Romain.

I have a desire to use the bare metal deployment in my estate as we are looking to deploy a couple dozen of hosts.
The area i can not find information on is how the storage is defined as part of the profile when doing a BMD. We have 4 10 GB ports on our specified hosts and we plan to converge the 4 NICs and create the networks for LM, CSV, MGMT, Virt machines, ISCSI using VMM however all the blogs i read are great at advising the method for LM, CSV, MGMT, Virt machines, but no info when ISCSI is included in the Converged team. Can you advise ???
