Overview:
We are seeking an experienced Hyper-V Consultant to urgently support a critical production incident within a hyper-converged failover cluster environment.

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.
