Two Dell VRTX with HyperV 2012
Hi
I am looking for a way of clustering two Dell VRTX chassis together for HA purpose if I lose one complete chasis I could restart VM automaticaly on the other Dell VRTX chassis any ideas what the best way to do this. would HyperV replica be the only way to go here as the Shared Storage I don't think can be presented to the other Dell VRTX chassis.

Zoom_Cool,
What you are referring to in Hyper-V is called Quick Migration or Live Migration, depending on Hyper-V version (2008 is Quick Migration, 2008 R2 is Live Migration) If you are indeed using Live Migration then you now no longer need Shared Storage. Here is the guide that you will need in order to configure the VRTX for Live Migration.
Let me know if this helps.

That is the case with Shared Nothing and Live Migration, unless failover clustering is configured which then makes it automatic. Page 12 of that link discusses configuring a Failover Cluster.
Also, what is the specific OS version we are working with?

It is Windows server 2K12 so I can setup HA between two VRTX chassis if VM1 lives on VRTX 1 I can setup Failover clustering to move VM1 to VRTX2 in the event of a failure of the complete chassis of VRTX 1.
Thanks.
