In this recipe, we will learn how to migrate the Microsoft Cluster Service 2008 physical machine from the HP Proliant Server to Cisco UCS.
There are two Microsoft Windows 2008 R2 hosts running on HP DL380e Gen8, on which are installed two 8 GB FC dual port bus host adapters and one 1 GB qual ports Ethernet adapter. Both source machines are connected to one EMC CX4-240 SAN Storage through SAN Switches and one shared EMC LUN is assigned to these two ESXi hosts. Windows 2008 R2 is running on two nodes for Microsoft Clustering (Cluster-Node1 and Cluster-Node2). For data migration, prepare one Cisco UCS 5108 Chassis with two UCS IOM 2208XP installed, each UCS IOM being connected to one Cisco UCS 6428UP. There is one UCS B200 M3 with one VIC 1240 installed on this chassis. Configure four ports on each Cisco UCS 6428UP as an Ethernet uplink port (port 17/18) and an FC uplink port (port 6/7), connected to SAN Switches and LAN Switches...
