Implementation of a Hyper-V Multi-site Cluster
At a high level, creating a multi-site Hyper-V cluster looks like it is going to be just like creating a normal Hyper-V cluster (see Chapter 8). For the most part, it is, with one teeny, tiny exception: there’s a limited-bandwidth, (relatively) high-latency link connecting the two sites that the clustered Hyper-V hosts are spread between. You saw examples of this earlier, in Figure 11-4 and Figure 11-5.
How you create the cluster depends greatly on various factors, including the following:
