Hi
Server 2012 R2
I am wanting to set up Failover clustering with 2 nodes connected to a Dell MD3400 storage array using SAS (not iSCSI). The disks are a mix of SSD and SAS drives and have been configured as 2 disk groups (LUN 0 for all the SSD drives and LUN 1 for all the SAS drives).
Reading up on 2 node Failover clusters suggests that a Witness disk is need for Quorum and this should be a "Dedicated LUN that stores a copy of the cluster database" (https://technet.microsoft.com/en-GB/library/jj612870.aspx). Other resources suggest a Witness disk of 1GB. My questions are:
- Would the prefered location for the Witness disk be on the SSD or the SAS drives
- Should I reconfigure my Storage to have a separate LUN for the Witness disk or would a 1GB 'drive' suffice?
Thanks
Tony
