If this answer is out there, I have missed it. And it may be inferred through 10,000 posts but I am not putting it all together.
I am trying to find the basic deployment "topology" for SCE 2010. I have two physical hosts for my hyper-v environment (one is for manual failover). I have licensing for everything as prescribed. I intend to use it primarily for managing the hosted VMs, initially.
My questions:
Does anyone know of a diagram with example deployments?
In my environment described above would I put SCE on the primary physical host AND the failover physical host thus enabling moving the VMs toand from the failover if/when needed (is that kind of the gist for how it is intended to be used for managing VMs)?
or
Is a separate physical server (ironically, because I implemented virtualization in part to reduce the number of physical servers) required just to run SCE for managing the two physical servers and their VMs (would this be the "management server" referred to in the Essentials Datasheet)?
and if so,
Shouldn't I then have redundancy for that server if a separate one for SCE is required?
Thank you in advance.
