All cluster resources are managed using the cluster manager (e.g. cluster disks, cluster networks, cluster applications, dependencies). It's not really the same as running a single server with a VM.

That's how my SMB's look then :) SBS2011 and a SQL server VM on the same physical box.. What is managed by the FCM? From: Michael B.

It looks like a regular server. The "only" difference is that some things must be managed via Failover Cluster Manager instead of Hyper-V Manager.

You mean this? http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc780872(v=ws.10).aspx I'm not clear what this looks like in practice. It reads similar to looking at the Hyper-V console and having the VM's auto-start, but I know that's not what they mean since they mention the cluster service. Dave From: Michael B.

It is how I tested Live Migration and migrating clusters from Server 2008 R2 to Server 2012 (note: you can absolutely have single-node clusters!). :) From: David Lum [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, October 24, 2012 10:55 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: You may be an IT geek if... The machine you do all your business from - accounting, etc. - is a VM running on a PowerEdge server in your house. It's also a convenient way to confirm you can do full DR with your stuff. Sure, it's not "cloud" but I don't want that for this purpose anyway...
