Hi

We are looking to setup a 3 node Hyper-V cluster with live migration and failover using:

3 x Dell R710's with dual quad core Xeon & 128 GB RAM & 6 NICs in each
1 x Dell MD 3220i SAN

We will be running this setup from a data center and so co-locating our kit.

Can anybody explain how we should setup the network connections to make the system redundant?

We have looked into this great article but are not sure how to get a 3 server setup correctly and reliably: http://faultbucket.ca/2011/01/hyper-v-failover-cluster-setup/.

I believe we need network connections for: live migration, heartbeat, management, hyper-v etc.

I assume as we are running it from a DC all IPs will have to be public IPs?

Are AD servers will be VMs. One on each Hyper-V server and setup not to be HA.

I am trying to migrate a VM which is using two pass through disks from a legacy Hyper-V Cluster to a new R2 cluster. The migrated VM cannot use the pass through disks though. The guest OS (2008 R2) doesn't seem to like the disk and eventually tries to format the disk instead of mounting it. The… >>> More
