Azure Stack HCI – Installation Series – 13 (Pre-) Cluster Validation
This Episode:
Before creating the cluster we run a validation to find any issues before building the cluster. We run the test with PowerShell and analyse it remotely using a browser. The network issue we see will be fixed and a second test proves that. Cluster tests can and should be done regularly especially when your cluster is executing work.
The Series:
We want to share our knowledge (gained thougout our work with customers ) on installing Azure Stack HCI on physical HW. Throuough the series we’ll install a 4 node HCI cluster on servers equipped with 6 NVMes each.
Explain network & cabeling. We will create the management, compute and the storage network. Test storage network for RDMA performance. Create the cluster. Update the cluster using Cluster Aware Updating. And do a set of benchmark test to proof the quality of the installation and demonstrate the power / capabilities of our system.
By the end of this multiple hours spanning series you’ll have the experience to install and know what to expect of HCI.
