best setup for Hyper-V cluster

[nikolaicheg]

Hello!
We have 6 hypervisors and 2 SW nodes.
Also we have 2 cisco 2960s switches.

I'm doing a new setup.
Starwind nodes have 2 onboard 1Gb ports and Intel 350-T QP network adapter. Hyper-v nodes have only 2 onboard 1Gb adapters. I need to have WAN and LAN addresses on VMs.
I need to do a best setup for my cluster. I want to do a setup without single point of faulure.

My ideas are:
1) connect starwind nodes directly by QP adapter, each pair of ports will have own subnet.
2) do a stack of catalyst swithes, and do LACP for onboard adapters of SW and HV nodes, and do vlans for lan and wan IP's to VM's.

Am I right? Or not? I see a lot of messages not to use LACP, and use MPIO.

LACP and teaming suck In most cases. Not only StarWind related. Thats true.

VLAN & LCAP have not shown themselves well in our test lab, therefore we do not recommend their usage.
