How to Configure Failover Cluster in Windows Server 2019 - Step by Step

HI,
I Have followed your tutorial but I have a problem when I try to validate the clusters .Cluster one can not find cluster two even though they are on the same domain and can ping each other..I get a mersage "the node cannot be contacted ensure that the node is powered on" even when the node is on.Any solution to this problem?

Hi, thank you for the detailed explanation! One question - how do you make the storage node3 (storage node) fault tolerant? Am I right in undestanding that if node 3 (storage node) fails then the whole cluster fails as it has no shared storage?

thanks buddy make it simple life

pls sir can someone also add as many nodes as possible or it is just two node...

hello sir, can i use this software for a project. if yes, how can i install the software. pls it is urgent...

thanks for this video

helllo, there are totally 3 node and 1 failover cluster, so the cluster just taking backup from node 1,2,3 to failover right ?

excellent !!!!!!

I got the UDP error and the Validation tests failed. I disabled the Firewalls and tried everything. Just can't pass that step.

fantastic illustration yet on the topic I have ever learnt.

Good afternoon. First, congratulations for the video. I tried to do the configuration, but when doing the validation test before creating the cluster, the following error occurs for the two data disks (one on each server):

Physical disk xxxxxxxx is visible from only one node and will not be tested. Validation requires the disk to be visible from at least two nodes. Disk is reported as visible on node:<Node Name>

I tried creating the cluster anyway, and adding the disks later. Only they don't list it as an option, and then it gives an error. It's probably some kind of prep on the records that I ended up not doing. What can it be? Thanks.

As a newbie system administrator I must say it's one of the best tutorials I've ever watched, also very clear instructions on documentations. Subscribed :)

why when creating a cluster, on Access point for administering a cluster, didn't ask for an IP address?

What happens if NODE 3 server or a domain controller server fails? :D

Hi , i want to check if it's workgroup without domain can i still create the cluster? Anythings to take note.

I did not quite get it. You used the disk of Node 2 as clustered disks instead of the "node 3". You also did not join the "node3" in the cluster which is supposed to have all the disks(storage node).

Very clear explanation

Thanks a lot

Thanks for the Knolodge sharing

facing error 5398 and 1653

Every thing is described very efficiently but how to configure the client side with wsfc ?

Getting error "The Node cannot be contacted. Ensure that node is powered on and is connected to network"
the both node is online and its pinging too T
ell me the solution please

Many thanks for the tutorial. I did not recognize when you have added the quorum disc to the cluster. ??

Hi Kindson.Please could you help me with an error on failover cluster in Windows Server 2022 validate configuration error, it is a network error. Kindly let me know the best way to connect with you. Thank you in advance.

When i wanna add node2 this mag appear "you do not have adminstrative privileges on node2.local"...
The 2 nodes not in domain
Is there any step for this ?
Thanks

Hello thanks for the video, its been so helpful to me. but i can not find the fail over document from your website! thanks.

Hi kindson,
have to give same configuration as node 2 also??

This well explained... Thank you... I have question.. please how do one reclaim space on the shared disk back to the storage device. I have pending issue where after files are being deleted from the file cluster drive, the space is not reflecting on the storage. Thank

Hi Kindson, how do you setup system info on screen of each of nodes?

Thank you! Very helpful!

thanks for this explaining...for the iscsi i have some quest. if you don't mind
1-does using server instead of storage device is good ? no problem with it ?
2-could i first convert the physcial disk to gpt then spanning them to make for example one partition of 10TB ssd and then i start use it in the iscsi ?
3- if the 1 of ssd down i think all storage will down so how to make a mirror to these ssd disk to insure the safety
thanks again

Great! Fully neat and clean steps! All doubt got cleared, Thanks a Lot From INDIA

And what happens if the physical server (DC) fails?

thx for this content!

Is it possible to create File Server replication with nodes running different versions of Windows server? Windows 2012 / 2016 / 2019 on the same domain.

Hi, we are using cluster due to unexpected restart of data centre now SQL node 1 is working fine but on node 2 SQL server service s not running.error 1067 .The process terminated unexpectedly.any solution

Thank you sir.

Tried to creat two VMs for node 1 and node 2. But in Failover Cluster Manager validation they cant see each other. What could be wrong? Do I need AD or Domain Controller?

how to fix the DNS error you got ?

Thank you, you explain things very clearly.
Can I ask you how you set up your lab environment? Looks like you are using virtual box. Seems like a great setup for testing. How much processing power does the host computer require?

Very good

Thank you... Solid!

Nice.
