Hello!
I am new in HA clusters and looking for the solution to connect 16 disks (JBOD?) to 2-3 servers via SAS (SFF8088). I am reading all the info possible in Internet and getting more confused on what hardware I need to get.
What I am trying to achieve:
a) 6x Windows 2012 Hyper-V clustered hosts
b) 2x SMB 3.0 clustered servers
c) 1x JBOD (1 for now, later I might expand to make it a real HA)
(a) and (b) will be connected via Ethernet.
(b) and (c) will be connected via SAS (SFF8088)
I need help in connection and hardware on (b) to (c) level. Do I need expanders? How to connect 2x SMB servers to 1x JBOD? To create a clustered SMB I need to have a shared storage. I am not sure how to build it on this level.
Thank you!
