Open iSCSI management console which gets installed as a part of target software and add devices. Add devices is a simple wizard which will create image file out of SCSI disk. Add all the locally attached SCSI disks using add devices wizard. Select the appropriate type of controller, depending on your operating system Set SCSI Bus Sharing to Physical and click OK Add a new hard disk to the first node in the failover cluster In the vSphere Client, select the newly created virtual machine, right-click and select Edit Settings.
Select the disk size. Expand the New Hard Disk. You cannot use SCSI 0. Click OK. Select the appropriate type of controller, depending on your operating system Set SCSI Bus Sharing to Physical and click OK Add existing hard disk to the additional nodes in the failover cluster In the vSphere Client, select the newly created virtual machine, right-click and select Edit Settings. In Disk File Path, browse to the location of the quorum disk specified for the first node.
The wizard creates a new hard disk. Use your Microsoft documentation for information about installation and configuration of Microsoft Cluster Service or Failover Clustering.
I have done some read up on doing windows server failover clustering. I can't do it like how i did in on windows server ? A good part of the answer to your question is dependent upon what VMware allows you to do in VMware workstation. I do not understand your description of the cluster you formed. Clustering requires shared storage though there is a special case where no storage is involved.
I have no idea how you were able to create storage on one node of a cluster your description makes is sound like local storage and share that with the other node in a cluster.
But, to address your question about iSCSI, this is a method of presenting storage over the Ethernet instead of something like Fibre Channel. It's a common way that SAN vendors provide storage to be shared among multiple hosts. Clustering in , , and can all make use of iSCSI storage as the shared storage. Must the hard drives be linked with iSCSI? Again, with VMware workstation, that is a question for VMware. With Microsoft Hyper-V , yes, that is the way to set up shared storage.
But according to Windows Server cluster definition in Windows Server Run the Cluster Validation report for any errors or warnings. Verify for warnings and errors for Networks. The Adapters and Bindings tab lists the connections in the order in which the connections are accessed by network services. Click Start , click Run , type ncpa. In the Connections area, select the connection that you want to move higher in the list. Use the arrow buttons to move the connection. As a general rule, the card that talks to the network domain connectivity, routing to other networks, etc.
Cluster nodes are multi-homed systems. Network priority affects DNS Client for outbound network connectivity. Network adapters used for client communication should be at the top in the binding order. Non-routed networks can be placed at lower priority.
SYS adapter is automatically placed at the bottom in the binding order list. Latency on your network could also cause this to happen.
The packets may not be lost between the nodes, but they may not get to the nodes fast enough before the timeout period expires. For Example: Under Validate Network Communication, you may see following messages for network latency issues. For multi-site cluster, you may increase the time-out values.
If the packet is lost on the wire somewhere between the nodes, then the heartbeats will fail. We can easily find out if this is a problem by using Performance Monitor to look at the 'Network InterfacePackets Received Discarded' counter. Once you have added this counter, look at the Average, Minimum, and Maximum numbers and if they are any value higher than zero, then the receive buffer needs to be adjusted up for the adapter.
If you are experiencing network packet lost on VmWare virtualization platform, see the 'Cluster installed in the VmWare virtualization platform' section. If there are network packets lost between nodes on Physical machines, please have your network adapter driver updates. At times, a simple misconfiguration of the network card or switch can also cause loss of heartbeats. This issue may occur if the packets are dropped during high traffic bursts.
Ensure that there is no traffic filtering occurring for example, with a mail filter.
