Windows Server Failover Clustering : Clustering outside AD2022/12/27 |
|
It's possible to configure WSFC Cluster if Nodes are not in Active Directory domain.
This example is based on the environment like follows.
Prepare 2 Nodes for clustering and they have shared storages for clustering provided from iSCSI Target Server.
|
+----------------------+ | +----------------------+
| [ iSCSI Target ] |10.0.0.110 | 10.0.0.101| [ Cluster Node#1 ] |
| tgt01.srv.world +-----------+-----------+ rx-7.srv.world |
| | | | |
+----------------------+ | +----------------------+
|
| +----------------------+
| 10.0.0.102| [ Cluster Node#2 ] |
+-----------+ rx-8.srv.world |
| |
+----------------------+
|
|
On CUI Configuration, run PowerShell and Set like follows.
|
|
| [1] | |
| [2] | |
| [3] | Logon to a Node that has cluster administration tools and Test to create cluster to verify each Nodes settings. On WorkGroup environment, it needs Administrator passwords on all Nodes are the same for creating Cluster. 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. |

| [4] | Configure Cluster. On WorkGroup environment, it needs to add Cluster name and IP address on DNS server each Nodes bind before creating Cluster. (on following example, it is [Cluster01/10.0.0.111] - if you allow dynamic update on target zone on DNS server, it's not required manually) |
