Hi Team,
We are setting up Windows Server 2012 R2 standard edition failover cluster between primary and DR sites.
2 nodes will be in Primary datacenter and 1 node will be in DR site. All 3 nodes will be virtual machines running on VMWare infrastructure. Since one of the requirement for WSFC is to have heartbeat network between nodes, i am just wondering how will it be assigned in this scenario when nodes are in different locations? For heartbeat NICs we generally don't give default gateway, DNS etc. in IP properties and use .reserved private addresses like 192.168.x.x or 172.16.x.x or 10.0.x.x range
Any article that provide how to go about configuring heartbeat networks and IP addressing for WSF will be appreciated. Thanks
Regards,
