Windows Server Failover Clustering : Add Shared Storage (GUI)
|
|
On GUI Configuration, Configure like follows.
|
|
| [4] |
Configure iSCSI Target Server to create a shared storage that is used as Data disk in Cluster, refer to here.
On this example, configure following settings.
iSCSI Target ⇒ [iSCSITarget01]
shared storage ⇒ [C:\iSCSIDisk\DataDisk01.vhdx] (30GB) |
| [5] | On primary Node, format the new disk with NTFS and next, run [Failover Cluster Manager]. Click [Storage] - [Disks] - [Add Disk] on the left pane. |
|
| [6] | Select a disk you'd like to add to the cluster and click [OK] button. |
|
| [7] | New shared storage has been added as a cluster disk. |
