I\u2019m happy enough now with our W2008 R2 Hyper-V cluster that I\u2019m putting it into production tomorrow night.\u00a0 We\u2019ll be migrating some of our production machines from the old W2008 cluster to the new cluster.\u00a0 Today I deployed OpsMgr agents onto the hosts and did some more testing.<\/p>\n
OpsMgr and VMM don\u2019t synchronise their maintenance modes.\u00a0 I submitted feedback suggesting that this would be good.\u00a0 I also noticed that even if both System Center products had a node in maintenance mode, the VMM management pack would alert when that node rebooted.\u00a0 Ouch.\u00a0 That\u2019s a bit painful.\u00a0 I also submitted feedback on that.<\/p>\n
So far, I haven\u2019t had any problems with CSV or Live Migration.\u00a0 Everything has worked fine.\u00a0 One tip I\u2019ve picked up on is to set a static MAC on Linux guests<\/a>.\u00a0 SUSE 10 SP2 binds the IP configuration to the MAC address and a change due to any sort of VMM\/Hyper-V migration can screw it up \u2013 I\u2019ve seen this with an export\/import.<\/p>\n So 11PM tomorrow, the first production machine moves over, followed by the second at midnight.\u00a0 Hopefully there won\u2019t be any calls on Saturday morning!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I\u2019m happy enough now with our W2008 R2 Hyper-V cluster that I\u2019m putting it into production tomorrow night.\u00a0 We\u2019ll be migrating some of our production machines from the old W2008 cluster to the new cluster.\u00a0 Today I deployed OpsMgr agents onto the hosts and did some more testing.
