I am looking at some suggestions for best practice for setting up a hyper V 2008 r2 at a remote location with 5 nics, one for managment vlan and other 4 on the data vlan. This server will host 2 virtual machines, one is a DC and the other is a member local DHCP server. The server is setup now with one nic on the management Vlan and the other nic's set to get there ip from the local dhcp server on on the host. We have the virtual networks setup in Hyper V to point to each of the nics using the "external connection". The virtual servers 'DHCP and AD" have there own ip set within them. Issues we are seeing, when the site looses external connections for a while they cannot get ip addresses from the local dhcp server anymore.
1. NIC on management Vlan -- IP Static -- Physical host
2. NIC on the Data network Vlan -- DHCP linked as a connection "external" in Hyper V -- virtual server DHCP
3. NIC on the Data network Vlan -- DHCP linked as a connection "external" in Hyper V -- Virtual server domain controller
4. NIC on the Data network Vlan -- DHCP linked as a connection "external" in Hyper V -- extra
5. NIC on the Data network Vlan -- DHCP linked as a connection "external" in Hyper V -- extra
Thanks in advance
