Hyper-V Setup regarding networks and nodes.


i building hyper-v server r2 failover cluster , trying map out. have 2 questions far.

 

1. have 2 nodes go 3 in future. node majority + disk right way go? assuming can change when add 3rd node down road.

 

2. have 2 nics in each server. can have normal network connection , heartbeat cluster plus live migration 2 nics or need three?

 

 

thanks help.

hello,

you can definately change cluster quorum settings after fact add , remove nodes.  in respect capacity, make sure planning hyper-v environment can survive loss of 1 servers , still keep vms online. 

i consider having more nics in host servers.  want have nic provide dedicated nics management, live migration, , virtual machines.  also, virtual machines typically consume more 1 nic (for capacity reasons).  finally, you'd want have dedicated nics iscsi if going down route. 

i hope helps out.
