Folks
I am looking into some best practices ; here is the scenario :
Multi Node hyper -V cluster
each machine had two pairs of teamed NIC cards ( 2 teams/server )
storage network is a separate SaS network and no iSCSI ; so we will have followings for remains :
- Cluster network
- Live Migration network
- Management network
- VM production traffic
Our goal is to have an efficient network , so we are going to dedicate one Teamed-NIC to our external network.
we end up having one more teamed-NIC per server to manage cluster , Live Migration and Management network.
we do have separate switches for management environment ; so what would be the best approach ?
My thought :
1-Create different virtual NICs for cluster/liveMigration and Management within Hyper-V ; these NICs will be usable
through management operating system as well.
2- Assign different IP subnets to each network
3- Connect last Teamed-NIC to management switches ; configure VLAN and QoS ; so that cluster traffic gets priority .
OR .. should I configure QoS through HyperV virtual switch ?
Any thoughts ? suggestions ?
