Hi,
I am trying to come up with a (Windows Server 2008 R2 64-Bit Ent Ed) Failover Cluster for bringing up a SQL Server 2008 R2 Clustered environment.
For this I have got a "DC machine" and Two nodes "Node1" & "Node2". All VM's on ESX server and AD is configured and one domain user exists.
I am using "Startwind iSCSI SAN" to emulate a disk image that my cluster will use as shared disks. I am creating at least 4 disks - Quorum disk, MSDTC, Logs and Data.
I have added "Failover Clustring" Feature in both of my Nodes. an dwhen i Validate the cluster bu trunning all test this is what i am getting as warning:
Node node2.metemanager.local is reachable from Node node1.metemanager.local by only one pair of interfaces. It is possible
that this network path is a single point of failure for communication within the cluster. Please verify that
this single path is highly available or consider adding additional networks to the cluster.
The following are all pings attempted from network interfaces on node node1.metemanager.local to network interfaces on node node2.metemanager.local.

Is it advisable to progress from here. Just wanna know because I progressed and Created cluster name "vmcluster" and install and configure MSDTC. Though I can see "Critical: 4, Error: 139" and starting installingSQL Server 2008 R2 x64(Instance name SQL2K8CLUSTER). Will update this post after installation.
OK Done.
Post installation when I have a look at "Failover Cluster Manager" I see SQL2K8CLUSTER is failed to start. when I try starting it I get the below error:
An error occurred while attempting to bring the resource 'SQL Network Name (SQL2K8CLUSTER)' online
Anyone here know where am I missing things!!
Thanks
