Hi all!
I am deploying a cluster of Hyper-V hosts with VMM, each host with two vSwitches. The first vSwitch is intend for guest VMs and the second for host management, heartbeat and live migration (all vNics). I have configured IP-pools for the three vNics and technically it's all working like a charm. The issue I have concerns the actual day to day management in regards to monitoring which host has which IP. When running Get-SCIPAddress | Out-GridView it produces a list of all IPs "leased" from VMM, but I find it hard to see which host has the actual address for the heartbeat and Live migration vNics when looking at the description column. For the bare metal deployed hosts it the description shows the vSwitch name plus an incremental number and not the actual hostname of the host using that particular IP.
Example: For host1 it would read "HostSwitch5" for the LiveMigration IP and "HostSwitch6" for the heartbeat IP.
If you have a great number of hosts and all of them show the same description it gets pretty confusing.
The management vNic IP shows the hostname for the host in the description column and I'd really like the other vNics to show the same. Maybe this has something to do with this being the only vNic configured with a gateway and DNS or something?
Now, I could use the AssignedToID column but that only outputs the host's GUID which (at least for me) is not "human readable" :) So, I'd like to change the description field of each IP to read the actual hostname of the host using it. Is this possible?
