Hyper V Cluster Setup Part 2

Dave Coleman | March 5, 2010

This is the second part of the HyperV cluster setup with the help of Alan Richards in this video Alan shows how to create the Failover Cluster, he goes through the validation of the cluster and creating the cluster itself also setting up node and disk majority. Alan later posted some corrections which I have included below the video.

Dell MD300i SAN

After some more research I changed the configuration of our SAN and iSCSI network. The SAN has 2 controllers each with 2 iSCSI ports; I setup the IP addresses as shown below

  • Module 0, Port 0 – 192.168.1.10/24
  • Module 0, Port 1 – 192.168.1.11/24
  • Module 1, Port 0 – 192.168.2.10/24
  • Module 1, Port 1 – 192.168.2.11/24

I then setup each server to have 2 network cards associated with the iSCSI network, 1 on each of the subnets from the SAN settings. Then I setup 2 switches, 1 for each subnet and connected them up appropriately

MPIO

On investigation into the errors about MPIO I found that Dell recommend using their configuration utility to setup the iSCSI initiator on Windows. So armed with DVD, I deleted all references to the SAN in the iSCSI setup and ran the Dell config utility and sure enough it added all the necessary settings into the iSCSI initiator

Network

The warnings on the network mainly consisted of multiple network cards on the same subnet. Part of this was resolved by have the iSCSI cards on different subnets but the rest were obviously on the same subnet because they were setup for Hyper-V. I did some more research and found that in Hyper-V manager you can set it so that Hyper-V and the actual server don’t share the network card.
