Hi,
I'm trying to get familiarized, in lab, with some 2008R2 advanced topics. My lab machines are :
- DELL PowerEdge T310 server (with virtualization option and VMWARE ESXI 5.1 installed) for running 2008R2 VM servers.
- 1 P4 PC (100Mbps NIC) for running Openfiler SAN.
I tried to configure a 2008R2 cluster. I successfully configured the SAN and I was able to write on it via iSCSI target in 2008R2 VMs. But, If I run the Failover Cluster Mangement validation step, it does tell me that the storage is not adequate for clustering. The cluster did not recognize the SAN and the iSCSI target stops working. I suspect it is a "SCSI-3 reservation add-on" issue.
Anyway !
- Do someone know how I can make the Clustering work without adding any hardware equipment ?
- By the way, I'm asking the same question for RD Virtualization and for Hyper-V ?
Thanks in advance for any help !
NB : I have couple of other P4 and Dual Core PCs. But, the only machine where I can run my 2008R2 servers is the DELL PowerEdge.
