New hyper-v cluster setup


i’m setup 2 node hyper-v cluster equallogic san, i’ve got 4 quick questions

 

1)should create different lun each vm ?

2)should use pass-through disk?

3)would recommended   put os disks (the ide) vm’s on 1 lun (not pass-through)?

4)how heartbeat nic configured

1) can, in hyper-v version 2 (win2008 r2), not required.  instead can create 1 large lun , use cluster shared volumes (csvs).

2)  you can use pass-through disks disk-intensive vms.  the os of vm still vhd, example may want pass-through disk sql data , sql logs.  each pass-through disk need configured separate lun.

3)  i don't know if it's "recommended" per se, if san fault-tolerant, i'd put os disks on 1 big lun , configure csvs cluster.

4)  the heart-beat should nic on isolated network.  it uses tcp instead of udp so, less configuration , hassle required.  you may want go cluster configuration after building cluster , make sure nic want use heartbeats set highest priority intra-cluster communications, think it's called.

hope helps,
