9.3 Install roles and features
On each of the Ready Nodes, install the Hyper-V, Failover Clustering, and, if DCB is used, the Data Center
Bridging roles and features using the Install-WindowsFeature PowerShell cmdlet. The command below
also installs the management tools for Hyper-V and Failover Clustering and restarts the system.
PS> Install-WindowsFeature -Name Hyper-V, Failover-Clustering, Data-
Center-Bridging -IncludeAllSubFeature -IncludeManagementTools –Verbose -
Restart
On the management system, only the management tools for Hyper-V and Failover Clustering need to be
installed. Tools are installed, and the system restarted with the following command:
PS> Install-WindowsFeature -Name Hyper-V-Tools, Hyper-V-PowerShell, RSAT-
Clustering-PowerShell, RSAT-Clustering-Mgmt -Verbose -Restart
Note: For this example, the management system is also the Active Directory domain controller and DNS
server. To install these features using the Install-WindowsFeature cmdlet, the -Name parameters are
AD-Domain-Services and DNS respectively.
9.4 Configure the in-band management and VM network
In this section, the in-band management and VM network, VLAN 1611, is configured. The IP addresses used
are from Table 3. To validate the commands below have taken effect, the associated Get- cmdlets and
output examples are listed in Chapter 10.
Note: On WS2016, the default SET load balancing method is Dynamic. On WS2019, the default SET load
balancing method is Hyper-V Port. Default load balancing methods are used in the examples in this guide.
1. In PowerShell, run the New-VMSwitch cmdlet on each Ready Node to create a SET switch. It is
named ProdSwitch in this example.
PS> New-VMSwitch -Name ProdSwitch -AllowManagementOS 0 -NetAdapterName
'NIC1','NIC2' -MinimumBandwidthMode Weight -Verbose
Note: Retrieve the argument for the NetAdapterName parameters by using the Get-NetAdapter cmdlet in
PowerShell. Use the adapters connected to the in-band management network. These are the 10GbE Intel
X710 adapters named NIC1 and NIC2 in this example.
2. Run the following command on each Ready Node to create the VM network adapter for the in-band
management and VM network VLAN (VLAN 1611).
PS> Add-VMNetworkAdapter -ManagementOS -Name 'Management' -SwitchName
ProdSwitch -Passthru -Verbose | Set-VMNetworkAdapterVlan -Untagged –
Verbose
3. Configure the Ready Node IP address and default gateway for the in-band management network with
the following command:
PS> New-NetIPAddress -InterfaceAlias ‘vEthernet (Management)’ -IPAddress
172.16.11.1 -DefaultGateway 172.16.11.254 -PrefixLength 24 -AddressFamily
IPv4 –Verbose
