      There is no such OS.

      There is

      • Server 2012 R2 + Hyper-V role
        -- Server 2012 R2 may be installed "core only"
      • Hyper-V Server 2012 R2
        -- There is no GUI for this.

        My apologize for the naming. I meant the second one - Hyper-V Server 2012 R2.

          @LAH3385 The answer, is yes. Starwind supports Hyper-V

                as for nics, i'm not sure if it's required, but i think you need 2-3 per host.

                    Thanks all for the replies.

                    Also, the video creator mentioned that the live migration is not actual real time as the VM needs to spin up and may takes from seconds to minutes. Is it true?

                        Yes, there is a hiccup as the workload is brought back online on the second machine.

                          Thanks SAM. I'll take minutes over hours any day.

                            Generally not minutes, spin ups are extremely fast. Often just a couple seconds so generally people don't even notice.

                              Do you recommend getting SSD for OS partition? I'm thinking xByte Edge 240GB in RAID1. I am also submitting proposal to increase HDD to 6 to reduce bottleneck. .

                                No, the opposite. Every penny invested in the "OS" storage is wasted. You don't care about capacity or speed there. Best practice is to install to SD card or USB stick when possible (Hyper-V only installs) or to the main array itself, never split off.

                                If you were to split it off, which you never would, it would go on the cheapest, smallest, slowest SATA drives that you can get (WD Red SATA.)

                                  The server came equiped dual 8GB SD Card. Is it enough for both vSan and Hyper-V core?

                                    If I have 4TB of storage capacity using all available HDD slots.. is there a way to increase the capacity down the road?

                                      I think so but I am not sure of the exact size needed.

                                        If you have filled the box, no there isn't a super easy way to make it bigger. You can always add capacity through bigger drives, external arrays, bigger server - in what way are you thinking?

                                          That is not big enough for Hyper-V, I believe that they wanted 32 for the SD/USB. I would have to look again.

                                            Right now we are about 1.5TB in. So in 5 years we may hit the 4TB mark. Just want to make sure that I have a good understanding on this.
