Cluster Configuration

Hello everyone,
I need someone to help me with the below:
I have an HP MSA storage connected and configured with RAID 10, the disk is now visible on the ESXI 6.5.
But I am having an issue to create and include it on a failover cluster.
I will quite appreciate it,if someone could help me with an information on how to add an additional storage to the failover cluster.

 

Also, a step by step to install and configure cluster on windows server 2016.Although, the OS was installed on ESXI 6.5.

 

Thanks

    Hi tonnybabs,

     

    You can refer to the official Microsoft documentation on how to create failover clusters:

     

    Create a failover cluster
    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/failover-clustering/create-failover-cluster

    Here's a Microsoft blog post on how to add disk to a cluster:

     

    Adding Disk to Cluster
    https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Failover-Clustering/Adding-Disk-to-Cluster/ba-p/371257

     

    If you're planning to use Cluster Shared Volumes (CSVs), you can refer to the following documentation:

    Use Cluster Shared Volumes in a failover cluster

    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/failover-clustering/failover-cluster-csvs#add-a-disk-to-csv-on-a-failover-cluster

     

     

    Hope this helps!

     

    Best regards,
    Leon
