Migrate on-prem file server cluster to Azure
Hi
I have a 2 x node clustered file server on-prem with Netapp san for disks.
I need to move these to Azure native VM's.
Can I do clustering on Azure ( I think I can)?
Is this a supported scenario?
What is the best way to go thru with this?
Thanks M
- Hi,
You could check this article: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/itops-talk-blog/creating-a-traditional-windows-server-failover-cluster-in-azure/ba-p/1564548
With Azure Shared Disks you can build a traditional file cluster. Alternatively, you could consider modernizing this service and mve to PaaS with either Azure Files or Azure NetApp Files. - I wouldn’t go to an IaaS solution. Why don’t you use SharePoint for that? Of course licenses need to be considered but the maintenance is better. Just my opinion 😃
