Validating Hardware for a Failover Clustertechnet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc732035(WS.10).aspx

Applies to Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2

In Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2, the way that

clusters are qualified is changing significantly with the introduction of the

cluster validation wizard.

• The cluster validation wizard is a feature that is integrated into failover

clustering in Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2.

• With the cluster validation wizard, you can run a set of focused tests on a

collection of servers that you intend to use as nodes in a cluster.

• This cluster validation process tests the underlying hardware and software

directly, and individually, to obtain an accurate assessment of how well

failover clustering can be supported on a given configuration.

― No reboot required

― VHDs and pass-through disksattached to the virtual SCSI controller

Hyper-V R2 Cluster Shared Volumes (CSV)

Overview•CSV provides a single consistent file name space

•All Windows Server 2008 R2 Servers see the same CSV storage pool

Benefits•Easy Setup; Uses NTFS

•No reformatting SAN’s

•Create one big data store

•No more drive letter problems

•Existing tools just work

•Microsoft recommends for Live Migration scenarios

NOTE: Hitachi does not support CSV with Hitachi Storage Clusters P-VOL and S-VOL synchronized replication pairs. Hitachi replication requires unique ID’s for all P-VOL and S-VOL relationships which is eliminated by Cluster Shared Volumes.
