The last part showed the Virtual Machines configuration. This part explains the Domain Controller setup of the “DNS” Virtual Machine in Hyper-V that is necessary for the HPC cluster setup. The Domain Controller serves to simulate the enterprise network in a real environment.
- Start the “DNS” Virtual Machine and insert the “SRVHPC_EN.iso” into the Virtual Machines DVD drive
- Boot from the ISO and Install Windows Server 2008 using the standard configuration
- Use “dcpromo” to install the Active Directory Domain Services binaries and to promote the Server to a Domain Controller
- Create a new domain in a new forest and give it a FQDN of “HPC.Test”
- Set the forest functional level to Windows Server 2008
- Activate the DNS function in the additional Domain Controller options
- Verify the configuration and start the operation
- After the operation was finished, go into the Network Connection configuration and open the Network Card configuration
- Deactivate the TCP/IPv6 check-box and open the TCP/IPv4 configuration
- Configure a static IP address, that will be used for the Domain Controller
- In the next step add the DHCP role to the Domain Controller
- Configure the DHCP service so that it serves clients on the static IP
- Add a scope and give it a meaningful name
- Verify the installation selections and install the DHCP services
