hey all!
quick question, im looking for a solution to minimize downtime, i dont care if I have to use third party tools to purchase, but basically i am looking to do the following - Move 2008 R2 Clustered Hyper-v Virtual servers to a different 2008 R2 Hyper-v cluster, in an effort to perform some consolidation, and the most importantly, minimize downtime
cluster details below
Both clusters are Hyperv R2 2008 server. both are san connected, on the same fabric, one lun per virtual server, both clusters existing on the same SAN, all CSV's i have a gigabit management network between the clusters,
Basically i am looking to move a bunch of virtualized servers, some how, some way, while they are powered on, or limit it to a couple reboots, i am not interested in shutting them down and doing exports across the gigabit network, or really between san luns, been there done that and not wanting 2 hours of downtime per virtual server
looking to see if someone has used any third party or microsoft tools that might fit this task!
Cheers guys!
