P4000 VSA - Hyper-V - move

[Patrick Neuner]

Hello,

last time we moved a LH node from one Hyper-V Node to another it dropped out of the Management Group.

Anyone got some experience if moving LH Nodes from one Hyper-V Node to another always give such troubles?

Thank you

shut it down first and then make sure that the MAC accress for the NIC is identical after it moves.  The default setting for hyper-v doesn't set this as static so moving it often will cause it to change and that will screw up things with the management group.

alright - after changing the MAC back to "original one" it works again with no problems ... Thank you! ;-)

Are the hyper-v nodes clustered? It shouldnt change the MAC on a migation normally... the MAC should come with the VM...

[Patrick Neuner]

actually it was from a clustered to a non clustered hyper-v, thus it might have changed the MAC. We set the MAC now static, so it shouldn't happen again, in case we have to move it again in the future. 

Thanks

Patrick
