Hello Community,
I've recently deployed Hyper-V into my hosting infrastructure and i'm trying to setup windows network load balancing and ARR so that i can have 2 VM web servers that are load balanced by 2 ARR servers running NLB.
I have the following setup:
2 Physical Host Machines IE; Host1, Host2
Then the following VM's are split 1 on each host for redundancy.
2 Hyper-V VM's ARR1, ARR2; both with NLB installed
2 Hyper-V VM's WEB1, WEB2
2 Hyper-V VM 's DC01, DC02 (Domain Controllers)
Note* I have all my Hyper-V VM's connected to the domain, but my host machines are not on the domain, not sure if this makes any difference
I've successfully installed NLB on both ARR1 & ARR2 and setup a cluster on a shared IP on ARR1.
Now i'm trying to connect ARR2 to that cluster but i'm getting an error message in the NLB GUI saying: Host Unreachable
I've tried disabling firewall on both the Hyper-V VM's and the host machines at the same time to see if that was the issue but even with all 4 machine's firewall off they are unable to connect to each other.
When i ping my DC01 from either ARR1 or ARR2 i get replies, when i ping ARR2 from ARR1 or vice versa i get Destination host unreachable.
So i think there might be an issue with my virtual switch? All machines have static IP's configured on the NIC's
Any insights appreciated.
