Overview:
We are seeking an experienced Hyper-V Consultant to urgently support a critical production incident within a hyper-converged failover cluster environment. The ideal candidate will have strong expertise in Storage Spaces Direct (S2D), Hyper-V, and failover clustering in high-availability environments.
Current Situation:
The client's production hyper-converged failover cluster experienced a critical overnight incident where multiple Storage Spaces Direct (S2D) volumes fell out of synchronization and entered a degraded repair state.
This has resulted in:
• Reduced system availability
• Performance degradation
• Impact to several production virtual machines
• Disruption to core database systems supporting banking operations
Key Responsibilities:
• Diagnose and remediate S2D volume synchronization issues
• Restore cluster health and stability
• Optimize performance of affected virtual machines
• Ensure high availability of critical systems, particularly database environments
• Provide guidance on preventing future incidents
Required Skills & Experience:
• Strong hands-on experience with Hyper-V and Failover Clustering
• Deep knowledge of Storage Spaces Direct (S2D) troubleshooting and recovery
• Experience working in production-critical environments (financial/banking preferred)
• Ability to respond quickly and work under urgent conditions
Additional Notes:
This is a high-priority engagement requiring immediate availability. The consultant will play a key role in stabilizing a mission-critical infrastructure environment.
