Win 2012 R2 cluster for Host and Guest VM
Hi,
I just need some help to clarify me on how many network card/port require if I want to setup Win 2012 fail over cluster with a following design aspect. Our current server hardware comes with 4 port of network configuration which are being use for 1 for storage connection, 1 for San Iscsi switches, 1 for LAN switches
1: Setup a failover cluster on Hyper V Host ( Win 2012 R2 )
2: Setup multiple guest VM ( win 2012 R2 )

How many Nic port require for a such setup ? I have meet minimum requirement but it somehow did not meet the design aspects
1: Setup a failover cluster on Hyper V Host ( Win 2012 R2 )
2: Setup multiple guest VM ( win 2012 R2 )
2: Setup multiple guest VM ( win 2012 R2 with Failover cluster features )
One that I notice here is the guest virtual machine must use the IP traffics for LAN communication in order to access SAN storage.

Virtualization
Virtualization is the act of creating a virtual (rather than actual) version of something, including (but not limited to) a virtual computer hardware platform, operating system (OS), storage device, or computer network resources. Virtualization is usually the creation of a system that executes separate from the underlying hardware resources, or the creation of an entire desktop for systems located elsewhere, similar to thin clients.

As you dont have sufficient NICs available in the server, I would even suggest you to make the design like this.
1. Management
2. VM Network
3. CSV/LM/HB etc
CSV/LM or HB are something which even can be utilized over a management interface with some additional penalty.
