Hyper-V Guest Clustering

Posted by John Policelli on 21st January 2010

I ran into a situation where I needed to cluster two Hyper-V guests. I found several articles that provided guidance around setting up shared storage for this, but none of them were completely accurate. I then stumbled across the below post, which worked perfectly. It’s definitely worth a read.

Supported Upgrade Methods for Hyper-V

Posted by John Policelli on 27th October 2009

Microsoft recently released a KB that outlines the methods that you can use to upgrade a Windows Server 2008, that has the Hyper-V role installed, to Windows Server 2008 R2.

The following methods are discussed in the KB:

1. Perform an in-place upgrade of the parent partition from Windows Server 2008 to Windows Server 2008 R2.
2. Export a virtual machine from a Windows Server 2008-based computer that has Hyper-V enabled, and then import it to a server that has Windows Server 2008 R2 with Hyper-V enabled
3. Using backup software that leverages the Hyper-V VSS Writer, back up a virtual machine that is running on Windows Server 2008, and restore it to Windows Server 2008 R2

As you may have heard, Windows Server 2008 R2 introduces a number of important changes and new features for Hyper-V, so if you are planning to upgrade then you should be familiar with this KB. The KB can be found here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/957256.
