Windows Server Failover Clustering : Configure Shared Storage2019/07/09 |
|
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 2 shared storages for clustering, for Data and for Quorum.
|
+----------------------+ | +----------------------+
| [ 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.

Windows Server Failover Clustering : Configure Shared Storage (GUI)
|
|
On GUI Configuration, Configure like follows.
|
|
| [5] | |
| [6] |
Configure iSCSI Target Server to configure 2 shared storage, for Data and for Quorum, refer to here.
On this example, configure following settings.
iSCSI Target ⇒ [iSCSITarget01]
Quorum Disk ⇒ [C:\iSCSIDisk\Quorum01.vhdx] (512MB) Data Disk ⇒ [C:\iSCSIDisk\Disk01.vhdx] (30GB) |
| [7] |
Configure iSCSI Initiator on all Nodes and login to iSCSI Target, refer to here.
After login to iSCSI Target, format iSCSI disks with NTFS on a Node.
