Hi, I have a two node, Hyper-V Cluster with about a dozen VMs. As time went by migrating between nodes have slowed. Specifically a SQL Server with about 300 GB disk takes about four minutes to move from one node two the other, and during the process I see it's status as "shutting down" making it offline for a noticeable while.
The servers are Dell PowerEdge 530s with a Compellent (Dell) SC2020 with low latency. I recently connect to 10 GB NIS together peer to peer as a cluster only network in hopes to reduce migration time. It did not seem to make any difference.
Anyone have ideas on why the migration is slow and how to speed it up?
Thanks,
Ken
