Deploying the Compute Cluster
Introduction Creating a cluster Establishing VM-to-SAN connectivity Creating a VM Verifying the compute cluster deployment

Creating a VM

  • To create a VM, run these PowerShell commands as an administrator:

    1. To create a fixed VHD for better I/O performance, run the following command:

    $VHDPath="C:\ClusteredStorage\volume1\HDD\<HDDname>.vhdx"

    New-VHD -SizeBytes <size> –Path $VHDPath –Fixed

    1. Create a VM:

    $VMPath="C:\ClusteredStorage\volume1\VMs\<VMname>"

    New-VM -Name SP -Path $VMPath -MemoryStartupBytes <Memory> -

    BootDevice CD -SwitchName

    <switchname> -VHDPath $VHDPath

    1. Configure the VM:

    Set-VMProcessor -VMName DB -Count <vcpu count>

    Add-VMNetworkAdapter -VMName <VMName> -Name <Virtual Network

    adapter>

    Set-VMNetworkAdapterVlan -VMName <VMName>
    -VMNetworkAdapterName

    <Virtual Network adapter> - Access -VlanId <VLANID>

    1. Add the vSAN switches to the VM:

    Add-VMFibreChannelHba –VMName <VMName> –SanName <vSAN switch

    name1>
    Add-VMFibreChannelHba –VMName <VMname> –SanName <vSAN switch name2>
