i350-T4 NIC
Windows Server 2012 R2
All 4 i350 ports configured as a Windows LBFO Team (switch independent / dynamic load balancing)
Converged networking (HyperV vSwitch bound to the LBFO team, with vNICs configured on the vSwitch for Host OS operations (Management, Cluster/CSV. and Live Migration)
VLAN tagging in use on VM's and vNICs except the vNIC used for management which is 'native'
VMQ enabled on all i350 ports
SR-IOV disabled on all i350 ports
Server 2012 R2 HyperV cluster
Fully patched with update rollups and hotfixes currently available
Drivers 19.3 (latest from intel website)
In the above configuration the destination server blue screens during live migration. I can sometimes get 1 live migration to work, but a second attempt to live migrate a different VM to the same destination host will cause the host to blue screen.
I can reproduce this issue very easily on any host in the cluster. They all have the same behaviour
If i disable VMQ then the issue stops
Also we dont see this issue with thie same hardware and same configuration using Server 2012 (non R2) though i note that the NIC driver is diferent on this Server 2012 (e1r63x64.sys on 2012 as opposed to e1r64x64.sys on 2012 R2)
crashdup analysis always shows the faulting driver as e1r64x64.sys

Thanx for posting to our blog site.
I appreciate your frustration. I asked our virtualization guru, he indicated that this issue has been fixed and will be available in the next release of the drivers that I belive is scheduled for Q4 of this year.
Thanx,
Patrick

Hi
thanks for the information
could i ask:
is it possible for you to post any technical detail about the issue viz a vis the cause and some more detailed technical information about why the driver is faulting (Private message is fine - i dont indend to republish this information. Its just for my knowledge)
Is it possible for me to get hold of a release candidate of anything prior to official release. This issue is serious and its preventing us from going into production on this and another cluster we are about to build as part of our transition to server 2012 R2
i would be happy to sign NDA or do anything else you might need in that regard. Also happy to feed back my testing results for your use
Failing that, can you be more specific about release date. because we're in Q4 now.... so this could mean anytime between now and January. Thats a very wide time window indeed
Many thanks for your help.

Unfortunately since this is not an open source OS, the details of issues are not available to the public, as they are for our open source drivers.
The next release is going to happen in the extreme near future. They are doing the absolute final regression testing as I type this. Can't give an exact date, but if I were a betting man (which I'm not), I'd guess in the next week or two.
Hope that helps a bit.

Hi. This is serving as a bump - i am currently talking to Microsoft support and the kernel debugging team, but i would really like to know if this has made it into a driver version and if so which was the first one? Thanks.
