How To Configure Windows Failover Cluster using Virtual Machines
This post goes over how to configure a Windows 2012 or 2016 Failover cluster with a shared disk to run on Virtual Machines.
You will need 3 Virtual machines:
- A domain controller
- Node1
- Node2
You will need 5 IPs on the same subnet (these are just examples, use whatever you want)
- 172.168.30.100 – DC
- 172.168.30.101 – Node1
- 172.168.30.102 – Node2
- 172.168.30.103 – MsCluster
- 172.168.30.104 – MyApplication
You will need 2 IPs on a separate subnet (these will be the heartbeat IPs, you can use whatever you want)
- 10.10.10.11
- 10.10.10.12
