If you run Windows Server , you can leverage storage spaces direct natively as your emulated shared storage. Refer to the following tips for more information. Another thing that you would have to consider is networking.

Your design would require proper planning and routing of the IP addresses for WSFC nodes in different availability zones. Does this also work for a multi-subnet configuration? Thanks Edwin for such a wonderful and step by step explanation.

Great article. View all my tips. Recommended Reading. Back To Top Charles , I’ve done several in-place upgrades in the past. It works in multi-subnet configuration. This does not mention if you need to run this on primary or secondary node. For now it’s just a testing environment, my goal was getting a cluster like the one I described with Windows Server It would be best to do it without witness like my conf in Linux , but since you said it’s mandatory I’ll have to get an external HD.

It is not recommended to run web services on a failover cluster. The recommended way to configure a web server is by using network load balancing. It used to be the IIS was available as a cluster-aware application, but engineering decided that NLB was a better solution.

Therefore, if you want to cluster IIS now, you need to cluster it as a generic service. I will admit that for your environment, it does present a bit of an issue because then you would need to set up two nodes in NLB for the web server and two nodes in failover clustering for file services.

Starwind answered with a suggestion to use their free software. There are other third-party packages that offer similar capabilities, though Starwind is the one more often quoted. That would allow you to use local disks to be configured in a manner that allows them to be presented as shared, ‘external’ storage.

You can then readily create the disk witness recommended for a two node cluster. Just to clear up one last thing. You talk of ” files synched across the nodes “. This actually does not happen as part of a cluster. The failover cluster relies on access to shared storage, so there is one instance of the data that is accessed by either node. Only one node has access to the data at any point in time. Should the node that owns the access to the data fail, or its path to the data fail, the ownership of the data volume is transferred to the another node in the cluster in order to allow continued access.

The cluster guarantees access to the data, but it has no synchronization feature. Office Office Exchange Server. Not an IT pro? Resources for IT Professionals. Sign in. United States English.

I’d like to get a virtual IP passed between the two nodes and file storage replica. Thank you.

Wednesday, May 9, AM. Wednesday, May 9, PM. Hi Tim, thanks for your answer. Now I have the cluster configured with virtual IP. Thursday, May 10, AM. Thursday, May 10, PM. Thanks again Tim, I am sorry, but clustering in Microsoft environment is totally new to me. In my configuration I would like to get this 2 machines with one virtual IP resources with binding on the virtual IP webserver and services passed from one node to the other depending which one is active files synched across the nodes the file replication I described I’ve configured a cluster with these settings on Linux with the corosync pacemaker stack , but now I want to move on Windows Interesting, I’ve heard about that software online.

I was trying different options no third party softwares for budget reasons.
