2-NPIV SAN Migration: Server Preparation
Installing the Software
2-4
1. Install Windows Server 2003 R2 SP2 and set it up as the domain controller
and DNS server.
Details for this setup are beyond the scope of this document. In this
example, domain ―hypernpiv.com‖ has been created.
NOTE:
Windows Server 2008 or Windows Server 2008 R2 can also be used
and configured for this purpose.
2. Install Windows Server 2008 R2 on the Hyper-V host servers (each with
one physically installed QLogic Fibre Channel 8Gb (or 4Gb) adapter).
After Windows Server 2008 R2 is installed on each Hyper-V host, the host
needs to join a domain. In this example, the third Windows Server 2003
host is the domain server, and each host is part of the domain
hypernpiv.com (see Figure 2-2).
