Hyper-V Cluster 2019 suggestion for requirements [closed]
We are planning to purchase nodes for the Hyper-V Cluster which will run on Windows Server 2019.
- Which chipset you recommend for cluster 2019?
- What is your recommendation for PCIe Cards?
- Should all ports be through cards or we can use also onboard Ports?
Regarding the 10GB PCIe cards we decide that we should have 8 ports:
One team for management
One team for cluster network
One team for Live Migrations
and two separate card for iSCSI - MPIO
- Any specific requirements required for Hyper-V?
Thanks
You want something reliable and with RDMA support. I’d stick with some Mellanox CX4lc NICs. This is what Microsoft uses to power Azure networking.
