So I'm checking out Hyper-V 2012 with SCVMM 2012 SP1 and have some questions. The article I have been reading (well one of them lol) is this one: http://blogs.technet.com/b/scvmm/archive/2013/01/08/virtual-networking-in-vmm-2012-sp1.aspx
I'm trying to wrap my head around this so let me explain my current network:
- Citrix XenServers
- Each server has a management NIC and two NICs that are teamed together for virtual machine traffic
- The teamed NIC's are trunked on my switch and handle VLANs
- We have many VLANs and each VLAN is configured with XenCenter
I'm wanting to get away from using VLANs and was looking into the networking virtualization with Hyper-V. It looks promising but it does look pretty complicated. Right now our firewall handles routing between the VLANs (if needed) but as you may have guessed the Firewall is not going to be able to handle the traffic for like our SQL cluster and File server cluster that is on different VLANs from the client machines (using redirected folders).
So can Hyper-V do this:
- All virtual machines are part of a single domain and single network (10.10.0.0/16).
- All tenant virtual machines cannot communicate with other tenant virtual machines
- Ability to allow tenant virtual machine to talk to certain PHYSICAL servers (such as SQL if the tenant has SQL)
We use Citrix Xenapp 6.5 (also XenDesktop 7) so there are certain machines that each tenant will HAVE to talk to (Delivery Controllers, XenApp servers, domain controllers, etc).
Does Hyper-V have the capability of these type of ACL's or is there something else I should be doing/designing the network infrastructure better?
Thanks in advanced!
