"First thing to do is to add the failover cluster feature." This is NOT the first thing to do. NOT one video that I have found yet helps you configure the storage properly! The first thing you do is configure your storage! Lucky for Michael, he has already done so (but hasn't shown us what he's using) so while it works for him, it fails miserably every single time for me because no matter how I configure my storage it either doesn't see it, or it FAILs to initialize when adding the disks.
+Beau Hall Actually he explaining Windows cluster itself only............ Storage configuration will do by storage team......... As per windows administrator he just configured failover cluster
You said what I wanna say ... What do I need to prepare for creating a failover cluster? I found I need to prepare the storage first ... but It is not mentioned..
I'd love to see the disk setup. I am using Vmware Workstation and I am trying to setup a SQL cluster. However I can't figure out the disk part. Do I create the logical drives on the computer that has one of the sql nodes and then make it available to the cluster? Do I need to create another vm with multiple drives and make those available for clustering? etc.
If I have different VMs between my hosts when creating the cluster, do I need to worry about the amount of HD assigned to each vm to avoid conflict during a failover?
My cluster role goes offline and sometimes my disks go offline. I manually login to the server and start the role to bring the site back. I am new to windows and tried finding a reason for this but not able to. Can someone throw some light on troubleshooting the issue?. Thank you.
shall I share same vmdk between 2 virtual machine without Clustering. Assume I have Winserver01 with 200GB vmdk, I want to share same 200gb vmdk from Winserver01 --> Winserver02, so both server access same single 200GB drive. but dont want to do clustering.
Hi !! It seems simple but I stucked while craeting one for me. 2 node (Same server Model). I installe dnad configure Hyper V 2012 and Failover cluster in validation test everything passed except storage, I have created 2 LUN using HP fiber SAN and presented to both server. one 1 GB for Quorum and 200 Gb for CSV Disk. I can see in Disk mgmt r my computer on both server drive Q: Quorum and E: CSVDisk but when I add the disk in cluster it immidiatly failed and comes in reserved state in Disk managment also. error is Virtilization Disk manager diaglog box with msg the resource is in use . I tried Cler-ClusterDiskreservation -Disk and it allows me to add disk again to cluster but again failed with same stste. Please advise
when i type the server name for validation "server cannot found". even if i creating cluster "error could not be reached" what should i do first?? i only have 1 server the domain controller i created.
Hello, I have 2 Hyper-V's for home / office use, each has their own storage, the PDC sits on one of the notes and I can live migrate between the 2 servers if i need to reboot etc. Can shared storage exists between the 2 servers i.e. I don't have a dedicated data server? Kind regards Dave
When I did my cluster using vmware fusion 5; Clustering needed 3 different cards on each of the nodes. One for domain controller connectivity and another one with different subnet for redundancy/node talking and a third one also on a different subnet for iSCSI. Then the cluster checking came all with tick marks and no problems. only domain controller needed 2 NICs: one for damin subnet and another subnet for iSCSI
what configurations do I need to set up first before creating a cluster? adds, dns, dhcp and you know, that kind of stuff. I have to do a clean installation and configuration for a homework and I just want to make sure not to include stuff that isn't necessary
Nice clip, thanks for sharing. but a question, if i need a server cluster for CAD CAM or FEA simulation use, what kind of server cluster suitable for that purpose? thanks in advance
You can create (or use) a WS2012R2 Cluster and ADD a WS2016 node and, once all your nodes are WS2016, rise the functional level to WS2016 cluster, as Microsoft says in the post below, because yo can add a WS2016 clean installation server. docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/failover-clustering/whats-new-in-failover-clustering
Congratulations on the video, excellent. Ask me a question if possible. I'm taking over the company's IT management and in that company there is a lame failover cluster. I would like to destroy the cluster and relocate to be able to use the nodes as a standalone. What happens to the CSV after I destroy the cluster? Is there a risk that I will lose the data that is stored in the CSV? Thanks
It's very good and informative. You have covered all required topics about 2012 cluster in one Video. Thanks for your efforts.

The first thing to do should be buying the servers themselves and connect the power cords to the mains, right?
Awesome video...you have made it very simple and easy to understand. Thank you v much :)
Well instructed video, very simple and easy to follow.
Awesome video. Very informative and straight forward. Thank you!
Hi,
Thank you for this step by step video.

before we can create cluster that must be preparation like disk, can you explain how to add disk, and what kind of disk that we can attach.
My cluster role goes offline and sometimes my disks go offline. I manually login to the server and start the role to bring the site back. I am new to windows and tried finding a reason for this but not able to. Can someone throw some light on troubleshooting the issue?. Thank you.
i cant add second server. it comes error "you do hav eadministravive privileges on ther server cluster validation"
shall I share same vmdk between 2 virtual machine without Clustering. Assume I have Winserver01 with 200GB vmdk, I want to share same 200gb vmdk from Winserver01 --> Winserver02, so both server access same single 200GB drive. but dont want to do clustering.

When I am try to add node error appears node cannot be contacted.ensure node is powered on and connected but the same node is pinging
when i type the server name for validation "server cannot found". even if i creating cluster "error could not be reached"
what should i do first?? i only have 1 server the domain controller i created.

can we set up failover cluster only using 2 windows server and without any third domain server ?
Awesome ...Happy to go with this one...Great Learing
Nice clip, thanks for sharing.
but a question, if i need a server cluster for CAD CAM or FEA simulation use, what kind of server cluster suitable for that purpose?
thanks in advance
Do all the PC’S need service manager before starting the clustering?
What is your point on creating Virtual Machine? and in which node did you do this? Thanks
Excelente conteúdo. Mais um inscrito!
nice video bro... the way of explain is very good ..
I cannot validate my cluster. Why is that. I'm using ws 2008 enterprise. Please help.
is it possible to create a server fail over clustering with domain
Useful tutorial for novices.
Validate Active directory Configuration: Failed. Can anyone help me out solving that problem? Thanks in Advance
does this config can be used for sql server 2014?
It says server cannot be reached what can I do?
Is it possible to create a cluster with win server 2012 and win Server 2016 machines??
As I know Microsoft strongly recommends to use the same OS on all nodes.
no
You can create (or use) a WS2012R2 Cluster and ADD a WS2016 node and, once all your nodes are WS2016, rise the functional level to WS2016 cluster, as Microsoft says in the post below, because yo can add a WS2016 clean installation server.
docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/failover-clustering/whats-new-in-failover-clustering
what if we dont have virtual machine is it possible for create new server
Thank you sir
What are those nodes? Are those a pre-installed servers or virtual machines?
You are A good Learner I wish All Countries have some Like you
So what things do I need to install on the nodes first,thanks Chris
HI see the other video how to install/prepare nodes.
Congratulations on the video, excellent. Ask me a question if possible. I'm taking over the company's IT management and in that company there is a lame failover cluster.

Did you ever get an answer to your question?
In this example these were physical systems with Windows Server 2012 installed.
Is this in theory one computer now?
You're the best
thanks a lot
...And what about the networking here?.....specially the heartbeat network.......default gateway?......ping test...etc
Martín Ríos j
very usefull
Were they apples or Kangaroos?
this assumes you have installed AD and are part of a domain...
gut
good
😀😀
cluster isnt a word anymore
so what disk configuration is required? is that even a top worth discussing at all?
useless video!
SAS, iSCSI, or Fibrechannel, SAN, DAS, JBOD. There are several configurations that work.
