ISCSI and Teaming

Hi,

Not sure if this is the correct place to ask this, but I asking a question which involves Hyper-V networking in a cluster environment attaching to shared storage using ISCSI.

these two websites discuss converged networking (you need the hyper-v role to do this even if you don't run any VM's on top of it)

https://technet.microsoft.com/fr-fr/library/dn550728.aspx

so from this, I understand that I can create a single team, attach the team to a virtual switch, then have multiple vNICs off of that vSwitch. I could have the following for example all with different weightings; Heartbeat, Live Migration, Backup Transfer, StorageSync, ISCSI.

I could create as many networks as I like really, for whatever purposes. however my question is around this: ISCSI.

I have read in the past best practices that state to let MPIO figure out the load balancing, don't attach a team for ISCSI. what I am confused about here is that I am not really attaching the "team" to ISCSI in this example, I am attaching a vNIC which in the background comes off from a team..... is this an acceptable thing to do, or do I need to have my ISCSI NICs as real physical NICS completely separate?

thanks

Steve
