Remarks

add the virtual machines that are part fo the server hyper v role should be installed onto each of the cluster node following are the three configuration required for installing hyper v role 1. configuring virtual switch 2. configuring live migration 3. configuring default stores

add the virtual machines that are part fo the server. This is called majority node cluster set create the disk create new storage pool and add the disks to the pool, create a virtual disk using start new virtual disk wizard. thinly provision the Virtual Hard Disk or create a disk of a fixed size (Figure 2.40). Fixed size provisioning delivers better performance, but thin provisioning is more flexible and makes more efficient use of storage space. Before you begin configuring the iSCSI target, it is helpful to start the iSCSI Initiator on each of the cluster nodes. The reason for doing this now is that each of the cluster nodes will be assigned an iSCSI Qualified Name (IQN). You will need to provide each nodes IQN when you configure the iSCSI target. Cluster Shared Volumes are normally accessed either through iSCSI or through Fibre Channel. So the target shoud be created Create a new iSCSI virtual disk and select the storage pool and the volume and enter the name of iSCSI target, names of the iSCSI initiators that will access the target. Populate the dialog box with the IQN names from the iSCSI initiators on all of your cluster nodes Although not technically required, authentication is important for iSCSI connectivity. Otherwise someone could easily spoof an IQN and gain access to your iSCSI target. The wizard gives you a choice of enabling CHAP or reverse CHAP authentication. Enter the IP address of the server that is hosting the iSCSI target in the Target field, Enable multi path, chap logon

Now that you have connected each cluster node to the iSCSI target, you must prepare the iSCSI storage for use by the cluster. This means creating the volume and configuring the cluster to recognize the shared storage 1. bring the disk online 2. select the partition style and create a volume on the unallocated space. do not assign drive letter. add disk to the cluster hyper v role should be installed onto each of the cluster node following are the three configuration required for installing hyper v role 1. configuring virtual switch 2. configuring live migration 3. configuring default stores

Move the Virtual Machines Data by Selecting Where to Move Each Item This option gives you the most flexibility because it allows you to control where each virtual machine component will be placed. This is usually the option that you will use when performing cluster-to-standalone host migrations. and then use move virtual machine data automatically Move the virtual machine data to a single location If the cluster node does not contain a virtual switch with a name matching the virtual switch that is currently in use, you will be asked to specify a virtual switch

The Cluster Storage section is displayed in the lower left portion of the Move Virtual Machine Storage window. If you have not previously performed a storage live migration at the cluster level, this window typically displays an error message stating that the network path was not found. Right-click on this error and choose the Add Share command from the right-click menu
this is similar to live VM migration. Instead of selecting move virtual machine, choose virtual machine storage core properties dialog box

core properties dialog box

Open the Hyper-V Manager. 2. Double-click on the virtual machine that needs to have the Integration Services installed. This will display the virtual machines console. 3. Select the Insert Integration Services Setup Disk command from the Action menu (Figure 6.15). To perform an online conversion, follow these steps: 1. Open the Virtual Machine Manager Administrator Console. 2. Select the VMs and Services tab. 3. Click on Create Virtual Machine and choose the Convert Physical Machine option (Figure 7.1).
