I am trying to create a High Availability Cluster on Serve 2012r2 that will run Remote Desktop Services i.e. RemoteApps. The idea being that if one server goes down the second one will take over. I have created a cluster with 2 nodes, the two nodes in the cluster are virtual servers on two separate physical servers running Server 2012r2 with Hyper-V. From what I can tell the cluster is setup properly (server manager>local server recognizes them as being apart of the cluster), but I'm unclear whether these two nodes are the High Availability cluster I require, or if I should have made the physical servers that host Hyper-v the nodes in the cluster. I would think that once these 2 nodes are in a cluster if I make a change to one node i.e. install a feature that the other node would be automatically updated to match, and should one node shutdown the other node takes over. Doesn't seem to be the case for me, which makes me think I shouldn't have used the two virtual servers as nodes.
Should I have created the cluster between the two physical servers instead? Then created a virtual machine from that cluster?
My only other experience with clustering is with Synology, so I'm basing a lot of my assumption on how Synology clusters their devices.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
