In addition, Microsoft has announced that Windows Server 2. I can now publish the setup of my lab configuration which is almost a production platform. Only SSD are not enterprise grade and one Xeon is missing per server. But to show you how it is easy to implement a hyperconverged solution it is fine. Salut tous. Mon livre sur la scurit dActive Directory est en ligne et disponible gratuitement en version 2. 0. Vous pouvez le tlcharger cette adresse. Register for exam 70696 and view official preparation materials to get handson experience with managing enterprise devices and apps. Microsoft puts out different versions of rollupspatches monthly via WSUS. One really bizarre one is Preview of quality rollup for. Net framework. Preview WTF does. Feature update to Windows 10 Enterprise, version 1703, enus, Error 0xc1800118, Windows 10 Enterprise, version 1703 failed to install. In this topic, I will show you how to deploy a 2 node hyperconverged cluster from the beginning with Windows Server 2. But before running some Power. Shell cmdlet, lets take a look on the design. Design overview. In this part Ill talk about the implemented hardware and how are connected both nodes. Then Ill introduce the network design and the required software implementation. How To Disable Wsus Updates To Decline A VerbThis topic explains how to implement a 2node hyperconverged cluster from scratch. This is a real example with almost enterprise grade hardware. I recently added Windows 10 to my WSUS Product and Classifications and got very surprised by the 100 GB of updates that was queued for download Lets learn how to clean. Hardware consideration. First of all, it is necessary to present you the design. I have bought two nodes that I have built myself. Both nodes are not provided by a manufacturer. Below you can find the hardware that I have implemented in each node CPU Xeon 2. Motherboard Asus Z9. PA U8 with ASMB6 i. KVM for KVM over Internet Baseboard Management ControllerPSU Fortron 3. W FSP FSP3. 50 6. GHCCase Dexlan 4. U IPC E4. 50. RAM 1. GB DDR3 registered ECCStorage devices 1x Intel SSD 5. GB for the Operating System. Samsung NVMe SSD 9. Pro 2. 56.

Mellanox Connectx. Pro 1. 0GB for storage and live migration workloads two controllers. Mellanox are connected with two passive copper cables with SFP provided by Mellanox. Switch Ubiquiti ES 2. Lite 1. GBIf I were in production, Id replace SSD by enterprise grade SSD and Id add a NVMe SSD for the caching. To finish Id buy server with two Xeon. Below you can find the hardware implementation. Network design. To support this configuration, I have created five network subnets Management network 1. VID 1. 0 Native VLAN. This network is used for Active Directory, management through RDS or Power. Shell and so on. Fabric VMs will be also connected to this subnet. DMZ network 1. 0. VID 1. 1. This network is used by DMZ VMs as web servers, AD FS etc. Cluster network 1. VID 1. 00. This is the cluster heart beating network. Storage. 01 network 1. VID 1. 01. This is the first storage network. It is used for SMB 3. Live Migration. Storage. VID 1. 02. This is the second storage network. It is used for SMB 3. Live Migration. I cant leverage Simplified SMB Multi. Channel because I dont have a 1. GB switch. So each 1. GB controller must belong to separate subnets. I will deploy a Switch Embedded Teaming for 1. GB network adapters. I will not implement a Switch Embedded Teaming for 1. GB because a switch is missing. Logical design. I will have two nodes called pyhyv. Physical Hyper V. The first challenge concerns the failover cluster. Because I have no other physical server, the domain controllers will be virtual. I implement domain controllers VM in the cluster, how can start the cluster So the DC VMs must not be in the cluster and must be stored locally. To support high availability, both nodes will host a domain controller locally in the system volume C. In this way, the node boot, the DC VM start and then the failover cluster can start. Both nodes are deployed in core mode because I really dont like graphical user interface for hypervisors. I dont deploy the Nano Server because I dont like the Current Branch for Business model for Hyper V and storage usage. The following feature will be deployed for both nodes Hyper V Power. Shell management tools. Failover Cluster Power. Shell management tools. Storage Replica this is optional, only if you need the storage replica featureThe storage configuration will be easy Ill create a unique Storage Pool with all SATA and NVMe SSD. Then I will create two Cluster Shared Volumes that will be distributed across both nodes. The CSV will be called CSV 0. CSV 0. 2. Operating system configuration. I show how to configure a single node. You have to repeat these operations for the second node in the same way. This is why I recommend you to make a script with the commands the script will help to avoid human errors. Bios configuration. The bios may change regarding the manufacturer and the motherboard. But I always do the same things in each server Check if the server boot in UEFIEnable virtualization technologies as VT d, VT x, SLAT and so on. Configure the server in high performance in order that CPUs have the maximum frequency availableEnable Hyper. Threading. Disable all unwanted hardware audio card, serialcom port and so onDisable PXE boot on unwanted network adapters to speed up the boot of the server. Set the datetime. Next I check if the memory is seen, and all storage devices are plugged. When I have time, I run a memtest on server to validate hardware. OS first settings. I have deployed my nodes from a USB stick configured with Easy. Boot. Once the system is installed, I have deployed drivers for motherboard and for Mellanox network adapters. Because I cant connect with a remote MMC to Device Manager, I use the following commands to list if drivers are installed. Win. 32System. Driver select name,nversion egi. Version. Info. File. Version. gwmi Win. Pn. PSigned. Driver select devicename,driverversion. After all drivers are installed, I configure the server name, the updates, the remote connection and so on. For this, I use sconfig. This tool is easy, but dont provide automation. You can do the same thing with Power. Shell cmdlet, but I have only two nodes to deploy and I find this easier. All you have to do, is to move in menu and set parameters. Here I have changed the computer name, I have enabled the remote desktop and I have downloaded and installed all updates. I heavily recommend you to install all updates before deploying the Storage Spaces Direct. Then I configure the power options to performance by using the bellow cmdlet. POWERCFG. EXE S SCHEMEMIN. Once the configuration is finished, you can install the required roles and features. You can run the following cmdlet on both nodes. Install Windows. Feature Hyper V, Data Center Bridging, Failover Clustering, RSAT Clustering Powershell, Hyper V Power. Shell, Storage Replica. Once you have run this cmdlet the following roles and features are deployed Hyper V Power. Shell module. Datacenter Bridging. Failover Clustering Power. Shell module. Storage Replica. Network settings. Once the OS configuration is finished, you can configure the network. First, I rename network adapters as below. Name notlike v. Ethernet Interface. Description like Mellanox2 Rename Net. Adapter New. Name Storage 1. Name notlike v. Ethernet Interface. Description like Mellanoxdapter Rename Net. Adapter New. Name Storage 1. Name notlike v. Ethernet Interface. Description like Intel2 Rename Net. Adapter New. Name Management. Name notlike v. Ethernet Interface. Description like Intelonnection Rename Net. Adapter New. Name Management. Next I create the Switch Embedded Teaming with both 1. GB network adapters called SW 1. G. New VMSwitch Name SW 1. G Net. Adapter. Name Management. 01 0, Management. Enable. Embedded. Teaming True Allow. Management. OS False. Now we can create two virtual network adapters for the management and the heartbeat. Add VMNetwork. Adapter Switch.
