VIR309
Integration Components
Number of logical
processors
Number of VPs on each VM
VHD type detection
• Installed? What version? Are all of the ICs added to the VMs?
• Supported LPs number on host
• Inventory and supported number of VPs for each OS
• Fixed, Dynamic or Differencing Disk inventory
Legacy Network Adapters
• Only use it if it’s mandatory (i.e Citrix provisioning VDI scenarios)

Validate Report?
Network adapters- Number of? Speed?
Metric (Priority) Settings? Role (1-3)? Client Access - Private/Live Migration network, AutoMetric enabled
Selected Network for Live Migration?
Network configuration - Other iSCSI in use? Verify Proper/Dedicated Network Path
Any VMs running on disks that are in "Redirected Access Mode"? Maintenance Mode?
Heartbeat monitoring for the Virtual Machine - Enabled/Disabled?
Policy for VM recovery/actions
Is Persistent Mode/Auto Start Enabled?
VMStates? Paused/Online/Offline/Failed/
CSV enabled? State of the disks? (R2 ONLY)
How many VMs per (CSV) volume? Optimization available?
GPT disk/MBR disk?
Multi-site cluster?
H/W Logo'd for Win2008/R2?
Filter Drivers Loaded?
Backup/Restore Process of (CSV or other) volumes
Perfmon counters for CSV volumes
Processors must be identical across cluster nodes - Processor Compat mode enabled?
Is Live Migration working properly?
Event logs for failed migrations?
System Drive letter must be the same across nodes
Verify supported workloads are running on each VM
Check firmware version of HBA from validation report and matches on all nodes
Verify DSM Module in use
Check if network teaming used for ISCSI
Is MPIO feature installed
Check for proper cluster Quorum Model
Storage configured to vendor tested configuration
Chkdsk set to run on any drives?
Microsoft Approved!
