Virtual Lab with a HyperV Cluster

[talltim]

I'm in the process of setting up Surebackup. I created a Virtual Lab OK, but its only on one HyperV host. Over the weekend the hosts in the cluster were rebooted one by one for Windows updates. This mean that the Virtual Lab moved to a different host, and when the SurebAckup job ran it failed as it couldn't find the Lab
Is there a way to place the Lab in the cluster rather than on one individual host?

Hi Tim.

No, host is the only valid target for Hyper-V virtual lab.
I believe you can set (anti)affinity rules(host preference) - in your virtual lab VM configuration, so that virtual lab VM migrates back after the maintenance.

/Thanks!

Thanks. I found those settings in HyperV and set the Preferred Owner and also the Failback setting to Allow Failback Immediately. This looks like the best solution within the limitations.
