Purpose:
To create a Failover SQL Cluster using 2 High Avaliable Virtual Machines
Scenario:
- two HA VM's (W2K8 Enterprise Full) running on two Bare Metals (W2K8 Enterprise Core);
- iSCSI SAN: VHD's of VM's are on LUNs exposed to the hosts;
- both VM's have access to a LUN, made available using iSCSI initiator within the guests (no pass-through);
Problem:
Validation of the configuration for the SQL Cluster is succesful (not even a warning);
Creating the cluster fails:
Beginning to configure the cluster SN-SQL-CLUSTER.
