Dell Compellent SC2020 configuring Windows 2016 Cluster (Migration)
Hello,
I have a Dell Compellent SC2020 (one only) with the following scenario:
Cluster Hyperv 2012 (not R2)
Volumes
- LUN1 (Cluster Server has access and Server C)
- LUN2 (Cluster Server has access and Server C)
- QUORUM (Cluster Server has access and Server C)
Server
- Cluster Server
- Server A
- Server B
- Server C (Backup)
Does the SC2020 support Windows 2016 Cluster with Hpyerv?
While updating the nodes in my cluster, I need to remove access from (server A) to upgrade the operating system. And when the new cluster group is created, I need to remove access to (server B).
See if I am right in the actions:
- I will remove the (server A) from (Cluster Server). With this I will lose access to the LUNs, avoiding the corruption during the process of creating the new hyper cluster;
- After the cluster group (in Hyperv) created on (Server A), I need to display the volumes to new (Server A). I will keep the same server name, so I will get the IQN in Windows and add manually during server creation.
- I will add this new one (Server A) to the same group (Cluster Server in Compellent). With that, I'll get back to Volumes. However, the disks will go offline.
- I disconnect the VMs from the cluster group (in Hyperv) and now remove the (Server B) from (Cluster Server) in Compellent. With this, I can now put the discs online on the new one (Server A) and import the VMs.
- Now without access to (Server B) volumes, I can destroy the old cluster group and reformat the new one (Server B).
- I add the new one again (Server B) in the (Cluster Server) in Compellent, so I will have access to the volumes again, so I can add the new one (Server B) to cluster group no (Hyperv).
My goal is not to change the volume mappings.
Thank you.
