I'm new to clustering.
I have two identical computers. Same box, same model, each with 2 NIC's, same hard drives, same memory etc . . . . .
I installed Win-Server 2012 R2 - Standard on each box, then setup identical iSCSI drives and Targets on each. One 50 GB iSCSI drive for the witness, and one 500 GB drive for data - identical drives on each box. These servers are NOT setup as virtual machines.
The iSCSI Initiator on each box finds its iSCSI drives, and those on the other box.
Computer Management/Drive Management on each box sees all four drives on each box.
The Failover Cluster Validation passes every single test. The "Create a Failover Cluster from the Tested Hardware" is checked and run, and the "Add all available storage" is checked.
After the Cluster is created, all iSCSI targets and their virtual drives are gone!!! They don't show up anywhere - except within the iSCSI-Virtual Drives folder on the primordial disk.
Does anyone have suggestions???
