Chapter 2. Cluster Design and Planning
A Microsoft Hyper-V Server cluster involves many components. Designing such a cluster requires you to understand how those components operate, what they need, and how they will interact. This chapter will extend beyond the basic introductory material of Chapter 1, Hyper-V Cluster Orientation, and take a closer look at the technologies and what you will need to implement them.
By the end of this chapter, we will have covered:
- Determining requirements of existing physical systems that will be moved into the virtual environment
- Designing a Hyper-V Server cluster with sufficient capacity for CPU, disk, network, and memory resources
- Planning for shared storage devices for the cluster
- Planning networking for the cluster
- Licensing considerations in virtualization and cluster environments
- Deciding between 2012 and 2012 R2
- Planning for physical placement of cluster-related equipment
- The security considerations and options for a Hyper-V Server cluster
