As shown in the above figure, the failover cluster to be setup at the datacenter location consists of two nodes – servers named ‘PrimaryNode’ and ‘SecondaryNode’ respectively. The servers are both connected to shared storage.

These instructions are unclear. The servers being connected to shared storage - does that refer to a LUN as a Cluster Shared Volume, or can this use a Shared VHD Set for Storage?

 

Can this guide also be revised to fit with Server 2016/2019 Failover Cluster steps, as they are different to 2008R2?
