Hi Folks
we are working on a HyperV cluster ( 5 nodes + SaS Storage) based on 2012 R2 .
I have a lot of experience with VMware but not much with Hyper-V .
in a nutshell ; I know that we need to deploy MS Cluster and HyperV roles . here is a couple of questions ; they are generic :
1- I know it's possible to start the cluster and then install VMM later ; however I prefer to avoid any re-configuration
, also in one tech-net article I saw a note saying that If I want to use VMM later ; I should configure all network requirements
through VMM ... so I am a bit confused ; do we need VMM to be there before forming the cluster and set up all networks or
it's better to have VMM in-place and do configuration through that ?
2- I saw in TechNet where you can even send cluster traffic through virtual switch .. this doesn't make sense to me as I am under impression that fail-over cluster is a separate service and it's outside hyper-v ; so how come it's using a virtual switch for
heart-beat ?
here is the article :
