Support for Teamed NIC's

Currently it is possible to select a Teamed NIC on a server via List Resources, but this only captures the status. It does not currently capture via WMI or Agent the interface statistics, as Orion does other interfaces.

This feature request is for support to be added for Teamed NIC's, so that it is treated as any other interface.

The work around without this is to use the Performance Counter monitor types in SAM to capture the Interface usage information, but this means that this data is stored in the SAM component monitor tables and not in the Interface table structures, which massively impacts the use of this data, as all new alerts, reports, views need to be created just to show and alert on this information.

mcam

this will be really helpful for our legacy servers with a whole bunch of teamed nics.

Looks like it only applies to Windows servers though - I "think" that the bond0 interface on linux servers works ok.

This will be less of an issue once we upgrade all our servers to 40G though

What about 100G mcam? My guess is this is sorta an oversight! My guess is this will be fixed very soon...

Good point.

Just on this,

I looked in to this before, and it's not actually available via WMI (at least in 2012R2, when last I checked). In order to pull some of that info I needed to install the management agent on the server (think it was Dell hardware) to expose that info, which I then need to pull via a script to get something as simple as the team members.
