Windows Failover Cluster with Hyper-V nested
Is it okay to build a Windows Failover Cluster with Hyper-V nested?
Please let me know if there are restrictions on Windows.
You can use nested virtualization on a Hyper-V failover cluster.
You need the following system requirements on your physical hosts:
- Windows Server 2016 or higher
- Intel Processor with VT-x and EPT
You also need to take special care for virtual machine networking. You have to enable MAC Address Spoofing for your virtual Hyper-V hosts. Also you lose any online memory resizing inside a VM with enabled nested virtualization. Meaning you can't use dynamic memory or hot-add/remove memory with nested virtualization.
Thank you for answering.
Does it mean that it can be built with some restrictions?
Is it not recommended for MS?
