Hi!
I am in the middle of setting up a Hyper-V cluster with SCVMM controlling it and so far it seems to work great. There is one issue though concerning the use of IP pools. I have configured a logical network with all our required VLANs, a port profile teaming the NICs and made a logical switch. When installing a VM I connect it to it's designated VLAN and network connectivity is fine. The problem appears upon Live Migration of the VM to a different host, while the procedure finishes successfully and the VM not losing a ping, I get "Job finished w/info" which reads:
Error (23753)
The virtual machine or tier load balancer configuration requires an IP pool and there are no appropriate IP pools accessible from the host.
Recommended Action
Select a host with access to an appropriate IP pool and try the operation again.
I do not have IP pools for this spesific VLAN, nor do I plan on having it as we use fixed/static IPs on all our servers. What's so strange is that if I log on to the VM and set it to obtain IP from DHCP the error during LM goes away. This is probably because of a greyed out setting on the VM properties indicating that if you use a fixed IP on the VM, you must use an IP pool? See the attached image.
So, have I missed some info or configured anything incorrectly? I really would like to LM without getting any errors! Any ideas would be greatly appreciated :)
