Hi,
I'm in the process of building a test environment which requires a failover cluster for a SQL Server Always on configuration of 2 DB nodes. I have a single Windows 2012 R2 host server with Hyper-V installed and my guest OS's configured using local storage on this server.
In order to create the guest failover cluster, I need to create a Quorum drive - which needs to be shared between the two DB nodes. Using only this physical host server and it's local storage, is this possible to achieve?
I believe that options for creating a shared VHDX disc are to host it on a CSV or a Scale out file server, but both of these seem to require the creation of a cluster themselves, which will require a Quorum disc on shared storage itself!
Thanks,
David
