First the TL;DR: Any help would be appreciated - or even a "Minimum config how-to" for cluster networking under VMM 2012 R2.
Building a VMM 2012 R2 machine to replace the current VMM 2008. Have several Hyper V clusters. All in one datacenter, lots of VLANs but no real difference - the are all routable to each other.
The old:
All 2008 clusters have trunked switch ports for the NIC the VMs use (10GB). Networking in HyperV is set to "Trunk ALL VLANS", VLAN is specified in VM properties, not big deal. Live migration and all that works fine.
The new:
Have my 2008 VMMr2 machine on hardware. Have a 3 node 2012 R2 cluster on a Cisco UCS 4 blade setup (new to me). Have one 10GB nic on each blade trunked to all VLANS on network (not a cisco guy, had our routing people config this - verified by Cisco support). All hardware NICS available to VMs show up as Logical Networks and VM networks.
Couldn't migrate or change VLAN properties from VMM - had to use local HyperV and failover Cluster consoles.
What I've done:
1. built a logical network. Called it "ALL VLANS". Within the network site (also "All Vlans") I manually entered all of the VLANS and their subnet. This all automatically created the VM network "All VLANS"
2. On each cluster host (from within VMM console) assigned the logical network "ALL VLANS" and checked all vlan ids.
After all this, moved one VM to the cluster with VMM (a 2003 server). VM properties, hardware shows the VM Network adapter "connected to VM network" named "All VLANS". "Enable VLAN" is checked and set to the proper number. Everythign else is greyed out, except under "Virtual Switch" - logical is greyed out and standard is selected and set to the Virtual Switch that was auto-created to the real hardware NIC in the host (Cisco VIC Ethernet Interface - Virtual Switch).
Now I can bring up the VM (static IP) - it THINKS it is connected at 10GB but it can only send packets - can't receive or even ping the router.
Any help would be appreciated - or even a "Minimum config how-to" for cluster networking under VMM 2012 R2.
thanks!
