Limit or maximum NICs on VM

This again depends on the other devices connectivity , if other devices(scsi controller, IDE controller (if you have an CD-ROM drive, for example), USB controllers.)count goes high then you NIC count will go less

Limit or maximum NICs on VM

Hi ,vNICs per VM: You’re limited by virtual PCI bus space, and the limit varies based on VM configuration. There are 32 slots total, one goes to the scsi controller, another goes to the IDE controller (if you have an CD-ROM drive, for example), one or two go to USB controllers. You probably usually have ~25 slots free for vNICs or so.- The PCI bus itself (ie on the device side of the PCI controller circuits) is a parallel shared bus - the same 32 address/data + N control wires run to each PCI device on the motherboard, and to each extension slot. There can be a maximum of 32 devices on a PCI bus, although some of them can be a PCI “bridge” that provides a subsidiary PCI bus.http://moi.vonos.net/linux/the-pci-bus/#:~:text=The%20PCI%20bus%20itself%20(ie,and%20to%20each%20extension%20slot.Any limitation on VM hardware is also depend on the Guest OS , if a VM supports then it will be supported by hypervisorFor an Example: Windows Server 2016 supports 12 total:- 8 Hyper-V specific network a

Hi,Do you have 10G to 1G QSA Adapter to convert your 10G to 1G to maintain uniform speed at both end, you cant have different speed at both endsIf you have QSA apadter already in place then you will not need to worry  and Its not necessary to have Shared port. Its recommended to have 10G port in Data port connectivity but still you can buildup your cluster with 1GAHV Administration Guide
