Azure Stack HCI – Installation Series – 17 Registering Azure Stack HCI Or Cluster Housekeeping II
This Episode:
We have a look at our cluster with Windows Admin Center after S2D (i.e. storage) was added to the cluster. Then we’ll register the HCI with our Azure subscription so that we can use it i.e. add VMs to the cluster. Then we go through the most important settings of your HCI cluster (e.g. caching, behaviour when disks fail, vm load balancing, encryption) – talk what you could change and what you shouldn’t change (in case if you are uncertain)
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.
