Dedicated CSV Network and Single iSCSI 10 GB Link?

-

i need information on including csv dedicated network or if on kill?  designing 2012 r2 environment 4 blades host.  on end have 2 modules redundancies give 8 usable nics.  routed through 2 redundant switches.  10 gb switch, etc..... 

  • management network
  • vm network (client data)
  • csv network
  • live migration network
  • cluster heartbeat network
  • iscsi (san)
  • backup network

question hyper-v peers this, understand reasoning behind csv network.  allowing data move between 4 host if 1 of san networks goes down.  however, needed?  if use plan use live migration network csv network. 

so, think?  should keep csv network , combine live migration network , make sure network card set lowest priority? 

1 more question.  our current design gives 10 gb iscsi connection.  again on plane redundant , connected redundant switches.  problem see have since host sees 1 network warnings don't have redundancy?  should need worry mpio , ignore warnings?

this looks good. published best practices guide recommends min. 5 networks, you're good. 

about iscsi , mpio, need mpio if there's more 1 path between initiator (your server using iscsi lun) , target (the san that's unmasking lun). so, if have 1 iscsi nic on hyper-v host (initiator) , 1 iscsi nic on san, there's no need mpio, since there's 1 path. if have 2 iscsi nics on host, , 2 iscsi nics on san, have 4 paths between particular initiator , target. depending on san vendor may have manually spell out 4 path in mpio config (simply pointing out ipv4 address of each of 4 nics. not nic team or port channel iscsi nics. installing mpio require reboot. default mpio algorithm round robin, can changed, need so.

hey everyone, i have been having issues on , off domain. pdc crashed (the domain controller). started old server , made domain controller , forced roles over. repaired pdc , elevated back. although appeared work found cannot rid of other dc because pdc can no longer contact domain things group policy or else. start secondary , domain magically reachable. although while secondary down can ping domain , replies ip of pdc appears pdc has no control on anything. questions following. 1. gpos created before crash no longer work. rebuilt sysvol , default problem can't edit default domain policy. don't believe having replication problems new repairing domains setting them , maintaining them of education came from.  2. if pdc gpo management console can't access gpos can secondary not have installed? 3. why domain unreachable if no dcs online when shutdown secondary. thanks in advance , try edit dc diag log right there on fails want narrow of out guys concentrate on...
