Do you have the right updates on your Hyper-V Cluster?

  • Article

I have been on a number of customer calls recently where people were hitting problems for which we have already released hot-fixes.  If you are running a Windows Server 2012 R2 Hyper-V cluster I would strongly recommend that you read this article:

Recommended hotfixes and updates for Windows Server 2012 R2-based failover clusters
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2920151

This article lists a number of hotfixes that are good for any Windows Server 2012 R2 cluster as well as some that are specific to Windows Server 2012 R2 Hyper-V clusters.  It also discusses what each issue is, and how it has been addressed.

Cheers,
Ben

    Hotfixes are a beast the comliance guys in a company usualy dont't really like and often you get permission to implement them only after beeing hit by an issue. Microsoft should try to put these recommended hotfixes in "normales patches" as soon as possible.

    Hi, Ben How often do you plan to update this knowledge base? There are many examples where such items are irrelevant.

    Сarsten, "hotfixes in normales patches" is not needed, because it is quite specific and in some cases be harmful.
