so after discussion i perposed company i'm working upgrading vm environment closer if not towards industry standard. knocking out nas, bringing in san's, second hp server identical 1 using , on. price got pretty hefty.
now current question have build vm environments ground up, witha nas , single server. had few questions.
1. when upgrading degree, have reinstall orginal hyper-v 2008 r2 server, or can identify hyper-v server in loop?
2. vm's survive upgrade or need rebuilt/reinstalled (i.e. can export them san's off nas , remount them?)
3. able configure live migration, , if provide information or link, or explain how process take placing upgrade doing great!
4. variables might missing?
i'm looking add san's, second hyper-v host server, , migrate data manually?
thanks in advance!
1. no, not have re-install hyper-v server. make sure using same server version (core/full install) , edition (enterprise/datacenter). after enabling hyper-v role on second node, can install failover cluster feature. reading: http://kristiannese.blogspot.com/2011/01/failover-cluster-for-use-with-hyper-v.html
2. survive. there several ways make vms highly available. yet again reading: http://kristiannese.blogspot.com/2010/10/how-to-make-your-existing-vms-highly.html
3. able configure live migration long have configured cluster :-) should rely on csv this, , have dedicated nics this.
4. should aware failover cluster requires active directory infrastructure well. should have physical server running role, , not place your domain controllers ha vms.
