LAN redundancy

-

i not sure post this, maybe more adequate put virtualisation forum. in process of planning hyperv based cluster. there 2 windows server 2012 r2 standard virtualisation hosts running 1 highly available virtual machine. after time might add more vms. use starwinds solution iscsi based ha storage. both of physical servers have 4 nics. our plan configure nics this:

nic1 - lan + heartbeat + cluster network / iscsi traffic (use different ips separate iscsi traffic network activity)
nic2 - lan + heartbeat + cluster network / iscsi traffic (use different ips separate iscsi traffic network activity)
nic3 - starwind sync data between hosts
nic4 - starwind sync data between hosts

i aware of windows server 2012 r2 networking teaming features , planning use those. also, 2 switches used. nic1 , nic2 teamed togteher team1, nic3 & nic4 team2. nic1 and nic3 connected to switch1, nic2 , nic4 switch2. 
client computers would have 2 nics aswell, set intel pro based teams. 1 nic would be connected switch1, other switch2. would kind of scenario work or missing here? if of nics in both physical servers, or in client computers client computers fail or of two two switches fails, there should no network disruption.  

it totally depends on how configure network interfaces (e.g. management, cluster , live migration).

but asuming configure 1 nic team 2 physical nic's. can use "switch independet \ hyper-v" or "lacp \ dynamic". can or maybe should following:

  • configure nic team in example called "vswitch":
  • - teaming mode: switch independent
  • - load balancing mode: hyper-v
  • create vswitch on top of team nic called "vswitch"
  • - create vnic on top of vswitch called "management"
  • - create vnic on top of vswitch called "cluster"
  • - create vnic on top of vswitch called "live migration"


can configure each vnic (management, cluster , live migration) static ip addresses , such compliant hyper-v cluster. don't wanna explain entire hyper-v cluster deployment. should going.

RDS 2012 r2 collections show black screen and then close

greetings,   have deployed 2 server 2012 r2 rds session collections (each 2 rdsh servers, , both going through same gateway/broker server), , during testing had no issues, rolled production, our users have been experiencing black screens when attempting log in, , remote desktop window closes (no actual login performed).   seems happen intermittently, , on both collections @ different times.  thought had solved disabling use of udp in rdp clients, wasn't permanent fix.   looking @ event log of 1 of affected servers, there seems event id 36 generated @ every logon attempt following message: an error occurred when transitioning csrconnected in response evcsrinitialized. (errorcode 0x80070102)   after scouring web looking answers, nothing came up.  here appreciated. edit:  apparently can't screenshot attach, located here: http://imgur.com/rlioxpd so, appears have figured out reason (although, i'm still unsure of root cause).  bi...
