    As a best practice to reduce vNIC failover times it's best not to have more than 20 vNIC backing devices driven by the same VIOS and target the same adapter physical port become the active backing device for vNIC clients at the same time. The more backing devices which target the same adapter and physical port driven by the same VIOS attempting to become active backing devices at the same time may impact the time it takes for vNIC failover to complete.
