Unplan Downtime for automatic failover VMs on Hyper-V 2012 clustering(Windows 2012) without SCVMM

- June 25, 2014

dear all,

check you, if setup hyper-v on windows 2012 clustering 2 nodes , not have scvmm manage on hypervisors.

- 3vms locate on node 1.

- 2vms locate on node 2.

if node 1 failure or crash, 3vms on node 1 automatic failover node 2 or not?

or if need automatic failover, have use scvmm manage hyper-v only?

need know, hyper-v server can automatic failover vms node 1 to node 2 or not if don't have scvmm.

please advise.

even free hyper-v support ha vm , failover clustering (big thing compared free esxi need pay these mission-critical features). scvmm purely optional. questions: if you'd configure vm ha yes, vm re-booted on hyper-v node. no downtime need configure guest vm cluster failover happen transparently connected users. see more vm ha , guest vm clustering:
