I have been struggling with this one for a while. I have 2 sites with 2 different clusters in which I would like to use the same gold image to create and deploy VMs. I don't want to have multiple copies of the VM laying around as they will surely not be the same after some time.
This is what I was thinking. Please provide any feedback.
Keep the vm files on a DFS share (2008R2 file servers). Create the vm on one of the Hyper-V servers in Site A (my primary admin site). Apply my updates, etc. and then shut it down. If Site A goes down, I can import the VM in Site B, apply my updates, etc. and shut it down. The changes would then be replicated to Site A when it comes back up.
Is there a better way?
