I'm a VMware person and have been running it on UCS for a while now. Works great. I'm now looking at moving into Hyper-V for a project that I have. I've been trying to find specifics on regard to Hyper-V and UCS but have been unable to find specifics. I have a few questions that I'm hoping somebody could help me out with.
1) To setup a hyper-v cluster with clustered shared volumes how many network interfaces do you need. From documentation that I've read you need 1 for management of the system, 1 for live migration, 1 for clusterd shared volumes, and 1 for the virtual machine network. In addition the live migration and clustered shared network network interfaces can be in non-routable type subnets correct?
2) How do you setup a non-routable network in UCS to be used by hyper-v. For instance if I wanted to use 192.168.2.0/24 subnet for the Live Migration interfaces on my Hyper-V hosts how would you do that? Or do I just use a routable subnet.
3) Is there any specific documentation that steps you through how to setup a Hyper-V cluster in UCS. I've read this documentation and some others on Microsoft's site ( http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc732181(v=ws.10).aspx#BKMK_Connect ) but it doesn't give details on configuring networking specifically.
Thanks for the assistance.

Hi Russ,
I have been using Hyper-v on UCS. Hopefully, I have some answers for you.
1. In UCS manager, you need to define vNICs for the following items (use a template )
1-2. Creating an internal network is easy.
3. The most difficult part is determnining how you will setup your server template. After that, install MS OS and follow the directions you linked to remembering to hardcode all you IP's
Watch some awesome videos on hyper-v network stuff presented by http://www.savilltech.com/videos.html
Bunch of good links on hyper-v for reference http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc753637(v=ws.10).aspx Ben Armstrong presents a lot of good info as well, Thanks Ben!
Have fun!
