I can't get RSS enabled on either of my nic teams - I have a DL380p Gen8 running Win 2008 R2 SP1, configured with the following h/w, drivers etc (all latest revisions as of today):
HP Network Configuration Utility for Windows 10.90.0.0(B)
4 port Broadcom 1Gb 331FLR card with:
4.0.1.17 Firmware
17.0.0.3 Driver
Team #1 - configured with 3 ports in LACP (group 0) and one as standby (group 1)
2 port NC523SFP fibre 10Gb QLogic adapter with:
4.0.0.21 Firmware
5.3.30.1001 Driver
Team #2 - configured with both ports in LACP
The individual windows drivers for each nic are configured with RSS enabled
In the configuration page of each of the 2 teams, (despite the default option being Enabled) the RSS option is not checked. On checking this box to enable RSS, and clicking OK to accept the changes, the team is reconfigured, but then checking this page again afterwards, shows that RSS is still showing as disabled.
Some observations:
netsh interface tcp show global
Querying active state...
The TCP parameters differ between IPv4 and IPv6.
TCP Parameters for IPv4 Connections
----------------------------------------------
Receive-Side Scaling State : enabled
Chimney Offload State : automatic
NetDMA State : disabled
Direct Cache Acess (DCA) : disabled
Receive Window Auto-Tuning Level : normal
Add-On Congestion Control Provider : ctcp
ECN Capability : disabled
RFC 1323 Timestamps : disabled
This shows enabled!
netsh interface tcp show chimneystats

--- ---- ----- ---- ---- --- --------------
15 No -n/a- 0 0 0 -n/a-
20 No -n/a- 0 0 0 -n/a-
This shows as not supported!
netstat -t - shows all current connections as "InHost"
Any advice?
Thanks, Berty
