“In this one-off video, Matt McSpirit, Partner Technology Specialist at Microsoft UK, walks through a bare-metal installation of Hyper-V Server 2008 R2 (RC) on 2 physical nodes, hooks them up to an iSCSI SAN, configures the SAN storage, and then, from a Windows 7 (RC) laptop, validates, and builds a Hyper-V Server 2008 R2 (RC) Cluster. The end result? A Highly Available, Live Migratable, Virtual Machine! All in about an hour!”
As people who have heard me talk about Hyper-V know, that claim of one hour is an honest one. I built our initial Hyper-V production cluster from iron to quick migration stage in about an hour … from a hotel where I was doing a presentation afterwards. WDS, some manual tweaks, Hyper-V, clustering … badda bing! All done. Sure, it was my third build so things went quick. Why 3rd? Initial build to develop, second to pilot, third for production.
