How to create Hyper-V Failover Cluster with SCVMM 2012

After the Hyper-V hosts be configured on your enviroment, it`s time to configure the highly available environment that everyone is demanding in today’s businesses. It`s time for Failover Clustering feature.

The pre-requisites for a HA VMM server installation are:

1. Failover clustering feature added, cluster created and configured (Windows Server 2008 R2 is the minimum OS version supported as node servers)

2. Windows Automated Installation Kit (AIK) for Windows 7 installed on all nodes that will be used as VMM servers: Windows Automated Installation Kit for Windows 7

3. Server and instance name of a SQL Server 2008 or SQL Server 2008 R2 cluster or remote SQL server (best practice to use clustered SQL Server with HA VMM servers)

4. For our DKM (Distributed Key Management) requirement, either logged on, installing VMM with an account that has “edit” permission on the Active Directory container (can be a lower level container doesn’t have to be the root) or DKM group pre-created on Active Directory and its name available to provide at setup (more on DKM requirement later)

Here are the steps to configure the Hyper-V Failover Cluster with SCVMM 2012:

1 - From SCVMM 2012, select Create>Hyper-V Cluster:

2 - Type the Cluster name and select a domain account with privilege to create cluster:

3 - Select a minimum 2 Hyper-V hosts under Available hosts column and move to the Hosts to cluster column:

4 - Enter a static IP address to be used on to the cluster:

5 - Select the disks you want to cluster:

6 - Select the logical networks for creating external virtual switches:

7 - Confirm the settings and click Finish:

After that, that Hyper-V Failover Cluster is configured on SCVMM 2012. You can see the Cluster on SCVMM under servers. See you later to the next post !
