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
