SC Series snapshots and Hyper-V
35 Dell EMC SC Series: Microsoft Hyper-V Best Practices | CML1009
In the example below, array SC18 is comprised of two controllers: SN 716 and SN 717. Two new server hosts
named TSSRV200 and TSSRV201 have been provisioned from a boot-from-SAN gold image source volume
that is owned by controller 717. As a result, the View Volumes created for hosts TSSRV200 and TSSRV201
are also owned by controller 717.
Verify controller ownership for a gold image and associated View Volumes
If a gold image will be used to deploy many new host servers, avoid causing a controller imbalance by
creating an additional gold image source that is owned by the other controller head in the pair, in this
example, SN 716. All new host volumes provisioned from it will then be owned by SN 716.
Specify controller ownership for a new gold image volume
