For volumes smaller than 2 terabytes, instead of using GPT, you can use the partition style called master boot record MBR. Check the format of any exposed volume or LUN. In this step, the file server role and failover cluster feature will be installed.
Both servers must be running either Windows Server or Windows Server For the Installation Type , select Role-based or feature-based installation and Next. Ensure Select a server from the server pool is selected, the name of the machine is highlighted, and Next.
For the Features, from the list of features, select Failover Clustering. A popup dialog will show that lists the administration tools also being installed. Keep all the selected, choose Add Features and Next. Before creating a cluster, we strongly recommend that you validate your configuration. Validation helps you confirm that the configuration of your servers, network, and storage meets a set of specific requirements for failover clusters.
In the Select Servers or a Cluster window, add in the names of the two machines that will be the nodes of the cluster. You can also choose the Browse button to search Active Directory for the names. Once both are listed under Selected Servers , choose Next. In the Testing Options window, select Run all tests recommended , and Next. On the Confirmation page, it will give you the listing of all the tests it will check. Choose Next and the tests will begin.
Once completed, the Summary page appears after the tests run. To view Help topics that will help you interpret the results, click More about cluster validation tests. While still on the Summary page, click View Report and read the test results. Make any necessary changes in the configuration and rerun the tests. To view Help topics about cluster validation after you close the wizard, in Failover Cluster Management, click Help, click Help Topics, click the Contents tab, expand the contents for the failover cluster Help, and click Validating a Failover Cluster Configuration.
For more info, see Validating a Failover Cluster Configuration. In the Select Servers window, add in the names of the two machines that will be the nodes of the cluster. In the Access Point for Administering the Cluster window, input the name of the cluster you will be using. Please note that this is not the name you will be using to connect to your file shares with. This is for simply administrating the cluster. If you are using static IP Addresses, you will need to select the network to use and input the IP Address it will use for the cluster name.
On the Confirmation page, verify what you have configured and select Next to create the Cluster. On the Summary page, it will give you the configuration it has created. You can select View Report to see the report of the creation. Run the following command to create the cluster if you are using static IP Addresses. When Failover Cluster Manager opens, it should automatically bring in the name of the cluster you created.
If it does not, go to the middle column under Management and choose Connect to Cluster. Input the name of the cluster you created and OK. In the Client Access Point window, input the name of the file server you will be using. Make sure that no other processes have open handles to registry keys in this registry subtree. If the disk was replaced or restored, in the Failover Cluster Manager snap-in, you can use the Repair function in the properties sheet for the disk to repair the new or restored disk.
If the disk will not be replaced, delete the associated disk resource. Run the Validate a Configuration wizard to check your storage configuration. Optionally you may want to run Chkdsk to verify the integrity of all volumes on this disk. Optionally, you may want to run Chkdsk to verify the integrity of all volumes on this disk. Possible causes include: the application may not be present on this node, the path name may have been specified incorrectly, the binary name may have been specified incorrectly.
Possible causes include: the service is either not installed or the specified service name is invalid. Possible cause: the specified service parameters might be invalid. Please check your IP address resource properties. Please check that the IP address resource is configured with the correct address and network properties. Please ensure all IP addresses are unique. Ensure that network names are unique. Ensure that the network adapters for dependent IP address resources have access to at least one DNS server.
The associated error code is stored in the data section. Ensure the share exists and is accessible. Please ensure the share exists and is accessible. Based on the failure policies for the resource and role, the cluster service may try to bring the resource online on this node or move the group to another node of the cluster and then restart it. Run the Validate a Configuration wizard to ensure that the network adapter is functioning properly.
Ensure that a valid, accessible WINS server has been specified. Some attached failover cluster nodes cannot communicate with each other over the network. The failover cluster was not able to determine the location of the failure. None of the available nodes can communicate using this network. The service required a restart in order to update parameters. However, the service failed before it could be stopped and restarted. Please check for additional events associated with the service and ensure the service is functioning correctly.
Both the source and target disks associated with the mount point must be clustered disks, and must be members of the same group. Please ensure that the source disk is also a clustered disk and in the same group as the target disk hosting the mount point. Please have a domain administrator manually delete the computer object from the Active Directory domain.
Ensure that the network adapters associated with dependent IP address resources are configured with access to at least one DNS server. Ensure that the network adapters associated with dependent IP address resources are configured with at least one accessible DNS server. One or more resources may be in a failed state. This may impact the availability of the clustered role. Please work with your domain administrator to ensure that the cluster identity can update computer objects in the domain.
Please ensure that the target disk is also a clustered disk and in the same group as the source disk hosting the mount point. Ensure that a writeable domain controller is accessible to this node within the configured domain. Also ensure that the DNS server is running in order to resolve the name of the domain controller.
This may affect client connectivity until the network name and its associated computer object name are consistent. Contact your domain administrator to manually rename the computer object. Cluster Network Name resource cannot be registered with Netbios.
Check for hardware or software errors related to the network adapter. Also, you can run the Validate a Configuration wizard to check your network configuration. An attempt will be made to recreate the computer object the next time the resource is brought online.
Additionally, please work with your domain administrator to ensure that the computer object exists in the domain. Ensure a writeable domain controller is accessible and check for any connectivity issue. The computer account for this resource was in the process of being renamed and did not complete.
This was detected during the online process for this resource. In order to recover, the computer account must be renamed to the current value of the Name property, i. The Domain Controller where the renamed was attempted might not be available; if this is the case, wait for the Domain Controller to be available again. The Domain Controller could be denying access to the account; after resolving access, try to bring the name online again.
If this is not possible, disable and re-enable Kerberos Authentication and an attempt will be made to find the computer account on a different DC. Please use the Failover Cluster Manager snap-in to check the configured properties of the cluster network. The required privilege is 'Trusted Computing Base' and must be locally enabled on each node comprising the cluster. You may take the network name resource offline and online again to retry. Ensure that there is one or more networks that are enabled for cluster use with the 'Allow clients to connect through this network' setting, and that each node has a valid IP address configured for the networks.
A component on the server did not respond in a timely fashion. As part of cluster health detection, recovery actions will be taken. The cluster will try to automatically recover by terminating and restarting the Resource Hosting Subsystem RHS process that is running this resource. Verify that the underlying infrastructure such as storage, networking, or services that are associated with the resource are functioning correctly.
Ensure that a domain controller is accessible to this node within the configured domain. This could be due to an infinite loop or other issues possibly resulting in an infinite wait.
Alternatively, the specified pending timeout value may be too short for this resource. Then, consider increasing the pending timeout value if deemed necessary. Please review the script code for this entry point to ensure there does not exist any infinite loop or other issues possibly resulting in an infinite wait. Then, consider increasing the resource pending timeout value if deemed necessary.
The Cluster service has detected that its service account is missing one or more of the required privileges.
Use the 'sc. Additionally check for any security policies or group policies in Active Directory Domain Services that may have altered the default privileges. Type the following command to grant the Cluster service the necessary privileges to function correctly:.
For a virtual machine this indicates that an application or service inside the virtual machine is in an unhealthy state.
Verify the functionality of the service or application being monitored within the virtual machine. It has exhausted the configured number of failover attempts within the failover period of time allotted to it and will be left in a failed state. No additional attempts will be made to bring the role online or fail it over to another node in the cluster. Please check the events associated with the failure.
After the issues causing the failure are resolved the role can be brought online manually or the cluster may attempt to bring it online again after the restart delay period. For a virtual machine this indicates that a critical network of the virtual machine is in an unhealthy state. Verify the network connectivity of the virtual machine and the virtual networks that the virtual machine is configured to use.
Cluster network name resource failed registration of one or more associated DNS names s because the corresponding DNS Zone does not accept dynamic updates. If the DNS server does not accept dynamic updates uncheck the 'Register this connection's' addresses in DNS' in the properties of the network adapter.
Cluster network name resource failed registration of one or more associated DNS names s because the access to update the secure DNS Zone was denied. Cluster network name resource failed registration of one or more associated DNS name s because the a DNS server could not be reached.
Cluster network name resource failed registration of one or more associated DNS name s because the cluster service failed clean up the existing records corresponding to the network name. Cluster network name resource failed to modify the DNS registration. Ensure that the network adapters associated with dependent IP address resources are configured with access to at least one DNS server and that the DNS reverse lookup zone exists. The cluster will try to automatically recover by terminating and restarting the Resource Hosting Subsystem RHS process that was processing the call.
If this is an IPv6 Address type, please verify that the cluster network matching this resource has at least one IPv6 prefix that is not link-local or tunnel. Please ensure that the resource is correctly configured. The backup operation for the cluster configuration data has been aborted because quorum for the cluster has not yet been achieved.
Please retry this backup operation after the cluster achieves quorum. WSFC resources such as networks, storage, or services can be made dependent upon one another.
The cumulative health of a resource is determined by successively rolling up its health with the health of each of its resource dependencies. Each node in a WSFC participates in periodic heartbeat communication to share the node's health status with the other nodes. Unresponsive nodes are considered to be in a failed state. If the WSFC has enough votes, it is healthy and able to provide node-level fault tolerance. A quorum mode is configured in the WSFC that dictates the methodology used for quorum voting and when to perform an automatic failover or take the cluster offline.
It is best practice to always have an odd number of quorum votes in a WSFC. For the purposes of quorum voting, SQL Server does not have to be installed on all nodes in the cluster. An additional server can act as a quorum member, or the WSFC quorum model can be configured to use a remote file share as a tie-breaker. Depending upon operational practices and WSFC configuration, you can incur both automatic and manual failovers, and still maintain a robust, fault-tolerant SQL Server Always On solution.
If the WSFC goes offline because of an unplanned disaster, or due to a persistent hardware or communications failure, then manual administrative intervention is required to force quorum and bring the surviving cluster nodes back online in a non-fault-tolerant configuration.
Afterwards, a series of steps must also be taken to reconfigure the WSFC, recover the affected database replicas, and to re-establish a new quorum. A client request that specifies a logical availability group listener network name to connect to a primary or secondary database is redirected to the appropriate instance network name of the underlying SQL Server instance or SQL Server FCI.
SQL Server instances are actively hosted on a single node. Nodes are members of a WSFC cluster. WSFC configuration metadata and status for all nodes is stored on each node.
Each server may provide asymmetric storage or shared storage SAN volumes for user or system databases. Each server has at least one physical network interface on one or more IP subnets. The WSFC monitors health and manages configuration for a group of servers. If a disk witness is used, the metadata is also stored there. By default, each node of the WSFC gets a vote towards quorum and a witness will be used if necessary and is configured. Windows Server Technologies: Failover Clusters.
Failover Clusters in Windows Server R2. If the results indicate that the tests completed successfully and the configuration is suited for clustering, and you want to create the cluster immediately, make sure that the Create the cluster now using the validated nodes check box is selected, and then select Finish.
Then, continue to step 4 of the Create the failover cluster procedure. If the results indicate that there were warnings or failures, select View Report to view the details and determine which issues must be corrected.
Realize that a warning for a particular validation test indicates that this aspect of the failover cluster can be supported, but might not meet the recommended best practices. If you receive a warning for the Validate Storage Spaces Persistent Reservation test, see the blog post Windows Failover Cluster validation warning indicates your disks don't support the persistent reservations for Storage Spaces for more information.
For more information about hardware validation tests, see Validate Hardware for a Failover Cluster. To complete this step, make sure that the user account that you log on as meets the requirements that are outlined in the Verify the prerequisites section of this topic.
If the Select Servers page appears, in the Enter name box, enter the NetBIOS name or the fully qualified domain name of a server that you plan to add as a failover cluster node, and then select Add. To add multiple servers at the same time, separate the names by a comma or a semicolon. If you chose to create the cluster immediately after running validation in the configuration validating procedure , you will not see the Select Servers page.
The nodes that were validated are automatically added to the Create Cluster Wizard so that you do not have to enter them again. If you skipped validation earlier, the Validation Warning page appears. We strongly recommend that you run cluster validation. Only clusters that pass all validation tests are supported by Microsoft. To run the validation tests, select Yes , and then select Next. Complete the Validate a Configuration Wizard as described in Validate the configuration.
In the Cluster Name box, enter the name that you want to use to administer the cluster. Before you do, review the following information:. If the server does not have a network adapter that is configured to use DHCP, you must configure one or more static IP addresses for the failover cluster.
Select the check box next to each network that you want to use for cluster management. Select the Address field next to a selected network, and then enter the IP address that you want to assign to the cluster. If you're using Windows Server , you have the option to use a distributed network name for the cluster. A distributed network name uses the IP addresses of the member servers instead of requiring a dedicated IP address for the cluster.
By default, Windows uses a distributed network name if it detects that you're creating the cluster in Azure so you don't have to create an internal load balancer for the cluster , or a normal static or IP address if you're running on-premises.
