Chapter 2. High Availability Scenarios

 

"Live Migration between hosts in a Hyper-V cluster is very straightforward and requires no specific configuration, apart from type and amount of simultaneous Live Migrations. If you add multiple clusters and standalone Hyper-V hosts into the mix, I strongly advise you to configure Kerberos Constrained Delegation for all hosts and clusters involved."

 
 --Hans Vredevoort – MVP Hyper-V

This chapter will guide you through the installation of Hyper-V clusters and their best practice configuration. After installing the first Hyper-V host, it may be necessary to add another layer of availability to your virtualization services. With Failover Clusters, you get independence from hardware failures and are protected from planned or unplanned service outages.

This chapter includes the following topics:

  • Prerequirements and implementation of Failover Clusters

  • Cluster and quorum configuration

  • Live Migration and Live Migration protocols

  • Guest clustering and shared VHDX files...
