Since VMM 2012 SP1, you can configure availability options for VMs that are deployed on Hyper-V host clusters, which include:
- VM priority: By configuring these settings, the host clusters will be instructed to start orp place high-priority VMs before medium- or low-priority VMs, ensuring that (for better performance) the high-priority VMs are allocated memory and other resources first.
- Preferred and possible owners of VMs: These settings influence the placement of VMs on the host cluster nodes. By default, there is no preferred owner, which means that the possible owners include all cluster nodes.
- Availability sets: By placing VMs in an availability set (to improve continuity of service), VMM will attempt to keep those VMs on separate hosts whenever possible.
You can also configure NUMA, which is a memory architecture that is used in multiprocessor systems. NUMA tries to reduce the gap between the speed of the CPU and the memory usage...
