Windows Server Failover Clustering : Configure Cluster2022/12/27 |
|
Configure Windows Server Failover Clustering (WSFC).
This example is based on the environment like follows.
Prepare 2 Nodes for clustering and they are in Active Directory domain (AD is not mandatory requirements). Furthermore, they have shared storages for clustering provided from iSCSI Target Server.
|
+----------------------+ | +----------------------+
| [ AD DS ] |10.0.0.100 | 10.0.0.110| [ iSCSI Target ] |
| fd3s.srv.world +-----------+-----------+ tgt01.srv.world |
| | | | |
+----------------------+ | +----------------------+
|
+----------------------+ | +----------------------+
| [ Cluster Node#1 ] |10.0.0.101 | 10.0.0.102| [ Cluster Node#2 ] |
| rx-7.srv.world +-----------+-----------+ rx-8.srv.world |
| | | |
+----------------------+ +----------------------+
|
|
On CUI Configuration, run PowerShell and Set like follows.
|
|
| [1] | Logon to a Node that has cluster administration tools and Test to create cluster to verify each Nodes settings. If some errors are shown, improve your System and retry Test Job. For [WARNING] items, you should care them but they are not essential requisites, so if [ClusterConditionallyApproved] is shown, it's possible to create a Cluster. |
