Good morning / afternoon / evening all
I've tried to google search this, but not having much luck finding anything of merit. I thought I'd come here and ask instead.
We've got an existing Hyper-V Fail Over Cluster already in place. Its grown organically over the years, and seen a massive increase in the past 12 months as we're now running dual sites with the cluster balanced across them both.
The management of the Hyper-V cluster at the moment is done through Fail Over Cluster Manager. We're looking to move away from this and bring the management under VMM.
Our issue at present is the following, if we bring VMM online and pull the existing cluster into VMM it overloads the IoPS of our storage and drops all of the VM's causing us a complete nightmare.
My question is, is there a correct way to proceed with this?
The reason I ask is that, from what I have seen on the tech blogs / forums. Implementing VMM is done at the beginning, you pull the hosts into VMM and then create the cluster after that. I haven't seen anyone doing it the way we are trying.
Are we doing it wrong?
Kind regards
Dave
