Hello,
So we have the following configuration:
Hyper V running on Windows Server 2012 R2.
Then we created a Failover Cluster and added 2 Cluster Shared Volume. Everything looks ok.
My question:
I can create a VM directly on the Hyper-V manager on one of the node, using the CSV disk as storage. I won't be seen on the Failover Cluster though.
If I create multiple VMs on each local hyper-v nodes like that (so sharing same CSV, same LUN on SAN), how is the coordinator node going to be able to handle the metadata traffic and redirected i/o since none of the VMs appear in the Failover Cluster manager ?
I mean can we use safely the CSV as storage for several VMs that are not part of the Failover Cluster ?
I was thinking the Failover Cluster was mandatory in order to manage multiple VMs on the same LUN.
Looking forward to your feedback.
Thanks You
