A few days ago, I did a presentation on Microsoft’s Hyper-V at the DevTeach Conference in Toronto. One of the areas I didn’t really get to expand upon is clustering for virtualization servers. In brief, there are two main approaches – host clustering and guest clustering. In the Microsoft world, Hyper-V relies on the tried-and-true Microsoft Cluster Services. So the question remains: How do you set this up? To get step-by-step details (18 pages of it!), see the free downloadable document: Step-by-Step Guide for Testing Hyper-V and Failover Clustering. The document walks you through the required steps and is also a great way to learn more about Hyper-V administration for high-availability.
