New Hyper-V LAB !

Finally I got all the required hardware for my new Hyper-V lab. My students are thrilled, and so am I.
Two identical servers from Supermicro, 3 switches, QNap Turbo NAS with ISCSI target and we`re on.
Since the creation of my iscsi target is taking about 48 hours, I`ll have to wait to set up my CSV`s.
But I`ve already some running VMs on my hosts, that I`ll have to migrate to my cluster.
I will show you 'how to' in my next post on this blog.

Hi Kristian. Which QNAP do you use in the lab? And how is the performance when you run a few VMs? Thanks for sharing some details ;)

Cheers
Michel

Hi Michel.
I use QNAP TS-419P+ Turbo 4-bay NAS for my LAB. I would not advise you to consider this in a production scenario. It`s slow and cheap:-)
But for testing - on the server side, it`s ok. If I would require to do a lot more within the guest OS, I would have to increase the budget a bit and get something faster.
