Building a Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 Hyper-V failover cluster with HP Virtual Connect FlexFabric
This white paper provides an illustration of how to build a two node Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 Hyper-V Failover Cluster with HP ProLiant server blades and HP Virtual Connect (VC) FlexFabric.
The focus of the paper is on the steps necessary to configure the VC FlexFabric modules based on an example environment. This includes more complex details such as setting up NIC teaming and VLAN configurations correctly for the Hyper-V configuration. The purpose of this example scenario is to test and validate that live migration support for a test virtual machine (VM) is functioning correctly in this configuration. Using the steps detailed in this paper, a VM was created and both planned (live migration) and unplanned failover tests were successfully completed.
