Step-By-Step Guide: Configuring Hyper-V and Failover Clustering for Windows Server 2008 R2 on the HP ProLiant DL980, rev 1

Note

• When you configure a network for live migration for a specific virtual

machine, the setting is global and, therefore, applies to all virtual

machines.

• If you have more than one cluster network listed in Network for live

migration, you should change the priority order to avoid having live

migration and Cluster Shared Volume use the same network.

Virtual Machine and Cluster Management

Step 11: Test a Planned Failover

To test a planned failover, you use Failover Cluster Manager to move VM1, the virtual machine that you

created in Step 7 (page 19), to another node.

To test a planned failover, follow these steps:

1. Open Failover Cluster Manager snap-in and click Manage a Cluster, and then select or

specify the cluster that you want.

2. Expand Services and Applications, and then click the virtual machine that you created in

Step 7 (on page 19).

3. Under Actions (on the right), click Live migrate virtual machine to another node, and

click the name of the other node.

As the virtual machine is moved, the status is displayed in the results pane (center pane).

Optionally, you can repeat this step to move the virtual machine to an additional node or back to

the original node.
