Teams on target systems
The target system is configured with the same number of teams that were present on the source server.
•
Teams are created on the target system consisting of the same relative adapters that were teamed on
the source server. For example, if adapters 3 and 5 were teamed on the source server, then that
teaming information is saved in the data file, and adapters 3 and 5 are teamed on the target
system.
•
In general, the adapters on the team on the target system do not have to be the same type of
adapters that were teamed on the source server. However, some adapters cannot be teamed and if
an attempt is made to form a team with invalid combinations of adapters an error occurs. For
example, teams with different speed capabilities cannot be teamed on a load balancing team.
•
An error occurs in the configuration if the adapters forming the team on the source server are not
present on the target system. For example, if adapters 3 and 5 are teamed on the source server, but
the target system has only four adapters, an error is reported and the configuration is not applied.
•
When teams are configured on the target system, the team properties are set to the values read from
the data file for the corresponding team on the source server. Properties not specified in the data file
(and properties specified with invalid data values) are configured using their default settings.
•
If no teams are configured on the source server, no teaming information is written to the data file
and configuration of the target system consists only of configuring individual adapters.
