Setting up 2012 R2 SOFS cluster to house Hyper-V data for the first time.
I have 1 pool and 2 tiered spaces setup on the cluster. The 2- Dell 720 have 2 - dual port RDMA nics, Data-On Jbods. 4- 1Gb nics. I am a bit confused about how networking should be setup.
I was originally thinking I would have per server:
1 Mgmt (1Gb) interface - Domain membership IP/DNS/Internet,
2 RDMA connected to separate san network - each one setup on a separate subnet for SMBMultichannel and RDMA.
Hyper-V hosts each have 2 RDMA nics connected to the same switch as the SOFS nodes (RDMA Interfaces) and of course are in the same domain as the SOFS Cluster.
I am not sure If I should re-do the cluster and make the RDMA nics the MGMT nic and Clients access nics as well and do away with the 1Gb interface.
I do however,like the idea of have a separate storage network. With testing this configuration produces DNS related errors in the FCM and the Cluster does not seem to failover properly.
Any help would really be appreciated. Thank you.
