Subject: Hyper-V puzzler

 

New 2008 R2 physical server (Called SERVER001) with Hyper-V, three
physical NIC's (well, six, but three are disconnected).

Two 2008 R2 guests on SERVER001, called VM01 and VM02

 

SERVER001 uses NIC0

VM01 uses NIC1

VM02 uses NIC02

 

Other physical server onsite: 2003 SBS server, called 2003Server

 

Tests:

File Copy from 2003Server --> SERVER001 = FAST
File Copy from 2003 Server --> VM01 or VM02 = SLOW

Change: Assign VM01 NIC to NIC0
Test: File Copy from 2003 Server --> VM01 = SLOW

Change: Add "Legacy Network Adapter" to VM01, assign it to NIC1

Test: File Copy from 2003 Server --> VM01 = FAST

 

Why would a legacy adapter in 2008 R2 VM be faster than the standard
network emulation? I have set up other Hyper-V environments and not run
into this issue before. Google-Fu gives several suggestions that I may
go through, but I was wondering if anyone else has seen this?
