After creating a team, you can use the
Configure this Team
option from the
Actions
pane to
change team settings, such as the Ethernet frame length, key adapter assignment, and adapter
priorities within the team.
Reconfiguring a Team
When setting up teams, SAM assigns the key, active and standby adapters, and specifies the
Ethernet frame length for the team. To change any of these settings, use the
Configure this Team
option, as described below.
To change team settings:
1
Start SAM and, from the Network Adapter list, select the team you want to reconfigure.
2
From the
Action
menu, select
Configure this Team
. The
Configure a Team
dialog box displays.

CAUTION:
Before physically removing an adapter from a server, first check it is not the key
adapter. You
must
reassign the key adapter if you want to remove it from the team to avoid
duplicating the MAC address on your network. See
for details on
reassigning the key adapter.
NOTE:
Changing team settings can disrupt network traffic flow to and from services running on the
server. Solarflare recommend only changing network settings when disruption to the services can
be tolerated.
