Summary of "Windows Server 2019 Training 36 - How to Create Hyper-V Failover Cluster on Windows Server 2019"
In this training video, the speaker provides a comprehensive, step-by-step guide on how to create a Hyper-V Failover Cluster on Windows Server 2019. The key concepts and features discussed include:
- Failover Cluster Overview: The failover cluster is designed to ensure high availability of virtual machines by allowing them to migrate from one Hyper-V host to another in the event of a failure.
- Infrastructure Setup: The tutorial outlines the need for a shared storage system and identical network configurations across all Hyper-V hosts. The speaker emphasizes the importance of VLAN consistency and storage connectivity.
- Network Configuration: The video details the creation of multiple virtual NICs for different purposes, including domain connectivity, iSCSI storage, cluster heartbeat, and live migration. A PowerShell script is utilized to automate the creation of these virtual networks.
- Hyper-V Role Installation: Instructions are provided for installing the Hyper-V role on the physical servers, ensuring that Intel VT technology is enabled in the BIOS.
- NIC Teaming: The speaker demonstrates how to create NIC Teaming for fault tolerance and performance optimization.
- iSCSI Target Server Setup: The process for configuring an iSCSI Target Server to provide shared storage for the Hyper-V hosts is explained, including the creation of virtual disks and targets.
- Cluster Validation and Creation: The video walks through validating the cluster configuration and creating the Windows Failover Cluster, ensuring all nodes are correctly configured and operational.
- Creating Highly Available virtual machines: The final steps involve creating a virtual machine within the cluster and configuring it for high availability, including demonstrating the live migration feature.
