How to setup Quorum for fail over cluster for Hyper-V

While configuring quorum for Hyper-V fail over cluster

It gave message that "No quorum witness has been configured for the cluster"

This was because quorum disk which was presented were not formatted . So formatted and assigned the drive letter Q

As soon it was added under cluster manager ->  storage, it was available

Now when I ran cluster configuration again it shown up under storage

Finally this configuration will finish

Hyper V VM high availability grayed out

I came across situation where VM created via non SCVMM had HA grayed out (Currently below screenshot is for reference)

While doing migration it was throwing error 23001 - cannot create or update a non highly available storage.

To fix this perform the migration again using following box "Make this VM highly available"

After migration this will become highly available.  

Cannot create or update a non highly available VM -Error (23001)

This is the first time when I have created virtual machine using SCVMM. While creating VM it throws error

This seems like you can not use cluster resource till you define the resource as highly available. After checking  option "Make this virtual machine highly available" VM creation went through.

Learning Hyper-V Lesson 9

I have discussed here how VLAN is created on HP virtual connect and then mapped to Hyper-V host. Once VLAN is created on virtual connect we need to use HP Network Configuration Utility to map this VLAN

Every VLAN which is created also create physical interface . Make sure you name it for better identification

Post this now we have to create logical interface on Microsoft VMM machine.  Select Fabric and then create a network site.

Now select each host and then choose virtual networks. Click on Add then choose network binding as "External" . Point this to the interface created on Hyper-V host

Now under hardware choose the interface and map it to logical interface
