I'm currently working on a test of a Windows Failover Cluster. I've got two machines (physical boxes, not VMs), and I've installed Server 2012 on both. The intent is to use these for an HPC Head Node Failover Cluster. All the validation tests pass, with the exception of shared storage, and this is where I'm having some difficulty wrapping my head around what I need.
Would I just need shared storage for the HPC database? Or for a witness disk or other things? We do not have a SAN, so I don't have any iSCSI or FCoE options. These aren't VMs, so it doesn't look like I can use this new SMB 3 thing recently introduced(?). What other options do I have?
My apologies; I'm very new to all of this and of course this needed to be done yesterday, as most things do...
Thank you!
