36. How to Configuring a Two Node Failover Cluster Windows Server 2016

hello friends welcome Thomas of the podcast into this video demonstration we are going to see the steps to configure a 2 node 3 lower cluster in a Windows Server 2016 but first of all let's understand our lab scenario for this demo I'll be using 3 servers which is one domain server and two member servers this is one of the member servers name node 1 and this server if a part of our regulatory domain my liberal as you can see the configured IP address on the server is 192 168 49.1 1 1 and we have a one more network adapter vector IP address 10.10 dot dot to our another node the name of the server is node 2 and this F is also part of our activity domain mother clucker and we have assigned IP address is 192 168 49.1 1 2 and 10.10.5.3 server now we have a one more server and that is our domain controller this is the our domain controller to him assign IP address 192 168 49.1 0 1 2 / - link control in the first step we are going to configure storage for our failover cluster and for this demonstration purpose I'll be using my doing controller for ice Kersey's stupid server so first of all you have to install I scuzzy storage service on this Windows Server and then after you are able to configure I scurvy blood sugars once you open I scuzzy let's click on to create a nice because we watch you this to start a new I scuzzy virtual disc reside okay now let's select type a custom path and that's manually browse the location where you want to store our I scurvy virtual disk I'm going to select the astral ok let's click on next and here you have to specify the name of your icicle see what your disk I'm going to suspend name over this one and then click on Next button now here you have the specific file the size of your watch your case for this demonstration I'm going justify size file GB and we are going to use dynamically expanding difficult let's click on next now on this console it is asking us to specify iced coffee target to that virtual disk we are creating a first virtual disk that right there is no existing asked of the target so we have to create new eyes curvy target so select new ice kappa target and then click on next now here you have to specify the name of your target and then justice if I mean I scurvy target one and that's geek on next again on this console we have to specify the ice cream initiator or initiators that will be accessing this ice cream virtual disk let's click on add to add new one select third options enter our value for selected type and type will be IP address he'll be how to specify the IP address of our move server that will be 192 168 49.0 1.1 let's click on ok now let's again click on Add button select color options select IP address and certificate the IP address of our node 2 server so these are the server's who are going to access our I scuzzy virtual disk let's click on next now we are not going to use authentication if you want to use authentication share or River strip you can enable it from here let's click on next and now let's click on create to create new ice cozy virtual disk ok less that click on close to closest console so we have a one ice cover disk name which is 1 let's create one more ice Kosovo's your disk let's click on task select new icicle supercharges tends to prefer the location and that'll be f3 I'll click on next and we just look if I mean we just to click on next specify size and you can justify 50gb and the disco type will be dynamically expanding now we are going to use the existing ice curvy target which we specified earlier and here is the idea graph of our node who is going to FF if I scuzzy watching this that's the complete if you want to create more ice commercial disc you can create using the same steps but for this demonstration I think to watch your discs are enough now we have successfully created I screw the disc on our streets over now our next step is to connect ice cava target on both mode so that's minimize this and this is the our node 1 I'm going to click on tools and then I need to click on ice curvy initiator ok that will be a one message click on your Sonic okay now first of all I'm going to click on and discovery click on discover portal and here you have to specify the IP address of our ice covet target in our case it is 192 168 49.1 0 1 that is the IP address or convoy stupid server let's click on advanced and come here and then just select the IP address 192 168 49 . 1 1 1 ok let's add it that's click on ok ok now let's click on target and here we can see the ice cover target which we created on our ice curvy storage server will be display over here now if you see the status that is inactive so let's click on connect to connect it ok now I'm going to click on everyone's and local adapter will be Microsoft ice initiators initiator IP will be 192 168 49.1 1 1 and baguette portal will be 192 168 49.1 0 1 that's click on ok ok again and as you can see now straight are the same it is connected let's look I'm ok now I'm going to open discrimination mention a pin so that's the right click on start button and select just management on a disk management you can see there is just one and we have a one more disk disk to the size of HUD okay let's bring online this disk one and and Eska - okay now let's initialize this disk right click on it and select initialize disk that's become ok so that we want to initiate this disk with MBR partition style let's click on OK ok so now as you can see both disk is online white tub diffic difficult ID let's create partition on our disk I'm going to specify Drive later queue click on max max and finish ok now let's create the partition on our difficult oh sorry I'm going to use the travelator are and I am going to become next okay now of a new one is ready we have to perform all the steps on our node so let's move to our node 2 that's Robin has a 2 minute mr. dirt on so many chicken sauce we're going to click on tools and then click on I screw the initiator click on yes button click on discovery tab and click on the score cookers here you have this prefer the IP address of over ice cores a storage server in my case that is the volunteer create 49.1 oh one a selector local adapter microsoft iced coffee initiators and initiator IP will be 192 168 49 . or 1 1 2 a little OK and ok again now let's click on target step and here you can see target is inactive let's connect it home at once here I'm going to select Microsoft escape initiated as a local adapter and the initiator IP will be 100 160 49.1 1 2 that is the IP address of our base node and the target folders IP address will be 192 168 49.1 0 1 that's click on ok ok again and it is connected now that's click on ok to continue that's really no pain disk management snapping okay I wanna definitely my snapping right click on this one and bring online with the same quad difficult ok so now we have a successfully configured storage that are required for our failover cluster and the next step we need to install failover clustering feature on our booth move I'm going to minimize this console and honest ominous console I need to click on manage and select add roles or features let's click on next select the role these of hitch with installation and then they are next here we have only one server and that is our no 2 song again just select node 2 and then I'm going to click on Next button click on next on select features console we have to select free lower clustering feature so let's select this click on add feature to add required features lexical next next click on install to start the installation process we need to perform the same steps on a node 1 as well so let's move to node 1 go back to solve manager click on manage and then select add roles and features click on next on before you begin screen select rule peak of you to be the inspiration and then click on next select your local server in my case that is node 1 and then click on Next button on select several rules console you have to click on Next button and on select previous console you have the Select field were closely click on I appreciate click on next and click on install to start the installation process okay failure recovery feature has been extraordinary conclusion console and let's move to our note 2 as well and here you can see our fellow Christian has been installed successfully as well or other neutral as cluesive console ok once you install a failure plus the feature lets open filo cluster manager console to taste her cluster setting so let's click on Tools remember we are on node 2 that select real word cluster manager console or now failure across from any console let's click on validate configuration on now before you begin screen you have to click on Next button now here you have to specify the server which you want to add as a cluster node so let's click on the pause button and let's click on advanced on fine now and select node 1 and node 2 let's click on ok ok ok ok now let's click on Next button here we have a two of sense if you want to run all days and the options waves undetermined date and if you want to run specific taste that time you can select the second one what you want to run always that's why I'm not going to change anything on this console that's click on next ok let's click on next you okay this is the summary cluster testing has been completed successfully there is no error but there is a summer warning and here it is fingers you should review the warnings in the reports so let's click on view report to see the report click on an oblong content okay here we can see all inventory's related paste has been completed successfully all Network related tests have been completed successfully all the students related T's has been completed successfully but we have a some warnings in a system configuration related page so let's click on system configuration and here we have a total of two warnings one for validate all drivers that are signed by Microsoft and we have another for a very rich software uptake labels so first let's click on validate all try once find C for this demonstration purpose I am using Oracle VM VirtualBox to virtualize my piece T is to machine and on that machine I will install VirtualBox gas addition tools and that drivers are not signed by Microsoft higher quality lab that's why we have a warning about sign drivers and here you can see that information is here VirtualBox device VirtualBox graphics at Keuka windows 8 and these drivers are not signed by Microsoft that's why we are seeing warning Ephrata to VirtualBox drivers ok user facilities report for future reference so I'm going to save this report has become pi and let's pick on save is under documents I need to give it a new folder let's click on screen then let's close this cancels that click on peace now we are ready to create two node failure clusters in Windows Server 2016 let's click on create cluster to start the design technical next let's click on browse we're going on at once click on fine now and select node 1 and node 2 that's looking ok ok again and let's click on Next button now here it is asking us to subscribe the mean of your cluster I'm going to name my lab close the little one here you how to specify the IP address now for the salmon fishery I'm going to give IP address 182 160 49 dot 201 the circle next ok now here's this option selected add all editable storage in the cluster let's click on next okay cluster has been created successfully if you want to see the report you can click on of your report okay and if you want to save this report you can let's close this let's click on trees now we have a one cluster named my lab closely the one two hot amount of local okay that's expanded now if you want to add certain rules you can add it from here but right now there's nothing crisply let's click on nodes and here we have a total two node node 1 and node 2 if we expand storage and if you click on disk here we have a crooked to disk cluster disk 1 and it is assigned to discord Neffs in quorum cluster disc 2 which is available for storage with the size of 50 to 80 if you click on network we have to drill to network cluster neck of 1 and cluster let you fill it close for Network 1 and as you can see the softly T is the 192 168 49.0 624 now they use is cluster and Cline and we have another network at extend or tender candle 0/24 that will be only available for clusters if you want to change your network from cluster inclined to cluster only you can that's right click on it and select properties ok I'm going to just expand name try bit cluster only here this would be awesome let's click on apply and ok and now select lost Network true and interview mean public click on apply and ok so I give you uh some social can name so we can identify the network ok now let's click on Milo so zero one dot my Lucas now if you want to add certain rules to your cluster that time you have to click on holes right click on it select configure rules click on next and on both node that rule must be installed before you select that code for example if I select file server after waiting for a few seconds there will be a error the required role of feature file services could not be found on any node so you have to add that role or feature on that node by using server manager so let's cancel it let's come back to saw manager click on manage add roles and features you connect like whole beep official iteration or next and from select service from server pool you need to select node to click on next and I'm going to select PI server role click next next again and install that's closest that's a clean click on add roles and features select all visual feature base installation let's use the node one next select file server next X again and click on install to start the installation process okay five civil gold has been successfully installed on our new tool so let's close this and installation has been completed on node one as well let's close this okay now let's go back to cross for manager right click on tools select configure rules click on next and for the solution we're going to configure theis overrule click on next now GDP haba - two - awesomes five silver for general use and scale out 500 for application data for the simulations we're going to use 5l approach and reduce click on next now here you have to specify the mean of client access point for the solution in green do you mean FS 12:01 and I mean just look at the IP address to 102 let's click on next now it is asking us to specify the storage we have a only one disk for storage corpus let's select that disk and sizes of the to be lexicon next Thank You longnecks again and that's it that's gone 3ds okay and here you can see file server that status is up and running and current owner is and notice if you want to change the owner of bag several you can change you right-click on it and select move here we have a cougar - option based possible mode and if you want to select a node manually that time you can select this one here we have a total root node one N or two so we have only one option no one selected click on OK and here we go now node one is the only node 4 PI server so this is the way have you can configure a two node failure cluster in a Windows Server 2016 that concludes this video demonstration thank you all for watching this video
