Setting Up Clustered Virtual Machines Using Hyper-V

Quick question... How can you setup two clustered virtual machines within a
single Hyper-V server? More specifically, how do u setup the shared disk so
both virtual machine nodes can access them? I know this can be done with
virtual server by using a shared SCSI controller but I can't seem to find
this similar functionality in Hyper-V.

Hello,

with Hyper-V could you create a "Virtual Cluster" with iSCSI as shared-disk.

As Alexander sais: using iSCSI is the trick. I've succesfully built a
cluster on Hyper-V using StarWind iSCSI.

You'll find that MS has just released v2.06 of the iSCSI initiator
(client software). As far as I know only datacenter and storage server
have iSCSI target built-in, so you'll have to use a third party such as
StarWind.

If you want to try & build a linux box for storage you might want to
look into freeNAS of openfiler.

regards,

Paul

Sorry, that is a host cluster, not a vm cluster.

Microsoft has changed the storage requirements for Failover Clustering in
Windows Server 2008. No more parallel SCSI support - this means that the
"traditional" way of doing this in Virtual Server 2005 or now in Hyper-V
will not work.

iSCSI is your new best friend. :)

Hope this helps,
