Revamping current virtual environment

-

i'm linking other topic current situation explination : (http://social.technet.microsoft.com/forums/en-us/winserverhyperv/thread/3c7878d9-8ef7-49a7-b04b-ac0b3b6a1ac1)

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.
