LBFO team and VMQ configuration

Question

Hi gang,
So I am running Server 2012 R2 in a two node cluster with some teamed network cards (2 - dual 10 gig cards)
The teaming is switch independent and dynamic.
In the event viewer I am seeing the following error:
Event ID: 106
Available processor sets of the underlying physical NICs belonging to the LBFO team NIC /DEVICE/{2C85A178-B9EA-436B-8E53-FAE34A578E95} (Friendly Name: Microsoft Network Adapter Multiplexor
Driver) on switch 9740F036-858E-49C8-8A29-DAE5BDA94871 (Friendly Name: VLANs) are not configured correctly. Reason: The processor sets overlap when LBFO is configured with sum-queue mode.
So I read a bunch on the VMQ stuff and just want to make sure this is the proper configuration:
Set-netadaptervmq –name “NIC A” –baseprocessornumber 2 –maxprocessors 8
Set-netadaptervmq –name “NIC B” –baseprocessornumber 10 –maxprocessors 8
Set-netadaptervmq –name “NIC C” –baseprocessornumber 18 –maxprocessors 8
Set-netadaptervmq –name “NIC D” –baseprocessornumber 24 –maxprocessors 6
Hyper threading is enabled:
numberofcores numberoflogicalprocessors
8                       
16
8                       
16
The last line of the vmq configuration is my greatest confusion.
Thanks.

Hi Alexey,
So something like this should work:
Set-netadaptervmq –name “NIC A” –baseprocessornumber 4 –maxprocessors 4 --4,6,8,10
Set-netadaptervmq –name “NIC B” –baseprocessornumber 12 –maxprocessors 4 --12,14,16,18
Set-netadaptervmq –name “NIC C” –baseprocessornumber 20 –maxprocessors 3 --20,22,24
Set-netadaptervmq –name “NIC D” –baseprocessornumber 26 –maxprocessors 3 --26,28,30
Correct?
