Break a Microsoft cluster and attends independent P2V in a VMware environment

• P2V microsoft cluster (file) with shared PV220s (SCSi) storage

  Hi guys

  I'm quite new in the VMWARE world. So please forgive my ignorance. If it's my third message in the last 2 days.

  Scenario: basically, we have a MS cluster running on two windows (our file server) server that is attached to the DELL PV220s matrix raid (scsi) with 11 drive running raid 5 config... Now it of almost complete @ 1 TB and also will be out of warranty soon.

  We want to virtualize these two servers (essentially the cluster), and then move all the data to the DELL EQUAlLOgic SAN we have on our site as well.

  Now, I've read that MS Clusters are supported in Update1 of VMware 3.5.

  So, how is it less setting this up. What I've read so this option seems like the next three - provide details of them my knowledge in VMware/SAN is very limited at present, but in the hope of picking up very soon.

  1 P2V cluster as it is

  2 break the cluster, then P2v each.

  3. create a new node 3 in VMware. (how we should go on the PV220s San data movement) - we should create a new volume-LUN of the SAN?

  I read that the signatures of discs cause problems etc..

  Please discuss your experiences and your thoughts on P2V ING a MS cluster.

  I'll be very be very thankful to you guys if you can answer because it will speed up our project.

  Hello

  Moved to the forum of the Virtual Machine and the guest operating system.

  Read http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vi3_35/esx_3/vi3_35_25_u1_mscs.pdf very very carefully before you P2V a cluster, there are things you need to do to create the virtual hardware correctly. If it were me, I would not use P2V but fresh start installs correctly configured virtual hardware.

• We have SQL Server 2005 cluster (3 node cluster), and if we improve this nodes to 2008 R2, the databases associated with the named instance can stay to the version of SQL Server 2005?

  original title: SQL Server 2008

  We have SQL Server 2005 cluster (3 node cluster) and if we improve this nodes to 2008 R2, can the databases associated with the named instance remain to the version of SQL Server 2005, I seem to disagree with this notion, but still need to validation of the pro.

  One way I can think of to achieve this scenario changes the compatibility level to SQL Server 2005 when the node has been upgraded to SQL Server 2008, so we can upgrade databases to SQL 2008 as and when the vendors provide support for this version.

• Microsoft Cluster in vSphere using RDM disks

  Gentlemen, I have doubts that sounds simple, but it is better to ask than to the hurt things.

  Here, in the company where I started work two weeks ago. We have two servers of files Windows Server 2012, both are part of Microsoft Cluster Services, these two servers are virtualized on VMware ESXi 5.5, each on a host, here we use vCenter HA and DRS.

  Well, these file servers 03 RDM disks connected to the fibre channel, storage only disks are online only on node 1, node 2 drives are present in the computer Manager, but marked offline.

  To my knowledge, my experience of simple Microsoft cluster, the disks must be online on all nodes for disaster recovery is quick, for example through cluster in Windows Server 2008 R2 and Hyper-V Server R2 of 2012 using iSCSI storage and always leave the disks online on all nodes.

  My question is: is there a reason why a node drives remain online and the other node is taken offline? Because of RDM technology?

  I can then do disks on node 2 as well as online without risk?

  I'm an environment that left another analyst configured, had never made Windows Server 2012 in virtualized VMware vSphere servers cluster using RDM disks, so made the questions, so instead of simply in clicking on node 2 of disks and makes them online it is better to ask before

  Thank you!

  Ivanildo, is the normal Windows Server Failover Clustering behavior, since it is an active/passive cluster architecture, where a single node read/write a disk at a time, and is not a problem due to the use of RDMS in vSphere environment.

  The bellow image show two discs a WSFC, where 6 disk Offline on that particular node and the 7 disc is online:

  

  And, do TRY not to put the disks as offline being online on another node through disk management, this task must be performed by using the Failover Cluster Management console.

• MSCS - NLB Microsoft cluster

  Hello

  We have 4 cluster NLB nodes on Production site and we expect protect it with MRS. 5.1.1.

  SRM 5.1.1 supports 2-node Microsoft Cluster Server (MSCS).  vSphere 5.1.x supports up to 5-node MSCS. SRM 5.1.x supports 2-node MSCS.

  Is it possible to have 4 NLB nodes in production and to protect only two nodes with MRS? as we just need two nodes for DR.

  Not sure, but I think you mix two features here, MSCS, and NETWORK load balancing. The restrictions apply to MSCS, but not NETWORK load balancing (unless I'm missing something).

• Microsoft Cluster Services - vmware

  If a virtual machine is running in 2008 and will be used for Microsoft cluster services, can drive BONE be thin commissioning?

  Hello.

  No, the disc format should be thick.  It is documented in the document "Setup for Microsoft Cluster Service and Failover Clustering".

  Good luck!

• Microsoft Clustering and iSCSI disks (inside the VM)

  Hello.

  We are in a situation where we would like to build a virtual Microsoft Cluster test and development (no use of production). Ive been reading this article: http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vsphere4/r41/vsp_41_mscs.pdf that describe the configurations are possible, but my idea is not mentioned.

  I thought create two Windows 2008 R2 VMs (on the same ESX hosts) and inside the guest OS use iSCSI initator to connect to a (physical) SAN iSCSI for Quorum disks and the resource.

  That should we not possible even though it is not mentioned in the article above?

  Don t worry not... will be stable, but follow the document on MSCS ok?

  And create an irtual vinternal without Teddy BEARS for the pulse switch.

• Physical-virtual MSCS (Microsoft cluster service)

  Hello

  I have 2 physical Windows 2003 servers (IBM Blade / SAN boot) and MSCS with SAN lun data.

  Now, I don't want to migrate cluster node1 virtual machine on ESX 3.0.1and stay node2 cluster on the physical computer.

  What worries me is what will happen with the data on these LUNS/disks when I map RDM (physical RDM compatibility) in ESX server?

  What is the safest way to a virtual node and not lose any data?

  THX

  Dejan

  the safest would be to create a 3rd node (virtual) and add this to the cluster and then expel the old physical node, rather than perform a P2V

• Recently had a phone call from a person identified as a Microsoft employee and she warned me that my system was sending error messages

  Original title: scam?

  Recently had a phone call from an origin of the State of New York - the person identified as a Microsoft employee, and she warned me that my system was constantly sending through Microsoft error messages - asked me to press on "Control - Windows - R ' and other tasks... natch - I refused.

  Anyone know of this type of scam?

  What is and what is final potential?
