how can i implement quick migration in hyperv without shared storage ?
hi expert
soon we will implement hyperv in our hospital and i have this question
we have two hp 580 dl 16 G of ram
consolidated and hyper v instaled on them
physical machine ----> file server vm + print server vm + secondary DC
physical machine 2 ----> DC cm + application server vm +fore front server
the question is
how am i going to implement quick migration without shared storage (budget !)
and if not is there any high availability solution for this kind of architecture?
in other word if one physical machine goes down what am i supposed to do ?
thanks

Can you bring the VM machine down. Copy the VM file to the other server attach it and start it up? Which VM do you need to move?
ASKER
by copying do you mean take a snapshot ?
well all vm that are in the crashed physical machine if possible
but do i have to constantly make copy of all vm after in preparation for a sudden crash?
what if the the physical server crashes before taking a copy of the vm ?
thanks in advance

is this a good idea if i do regular backups of the vhd
and if there is crash of one physical server i restore the backed up vhd to the other physical server.
can i implement this kind of solution?

That should work. Obviously, the best thing to do is to TEST your solution, but in theory, that should work.
Another option is to build a Linux server to act as an iSCSI target and use that as your shared storage. I've never done that, but THEORETICALLY, that should work.

The normal VM servers would not pose a problem, the problem you would be facing would deal with the AD. The risk could be reduced with a scheduled system state backups to the other physical server. I.e. VM DC on server1 will backup the AD system state to server2.

well actually i will put two DCs
the first in physical machine 1 (primary Dc you can say!)
the second DC will be in the second physical server (backup one)
so if one physical server down i always have the second and after i fix the crash the two dc will synchronize
is this a good thinking from side?
