Storage Replica on Failover Cluster as a means of storage replication on iSCSI
Hello, I have implemented a Failover Cluster / File Server (node1 and node2) on Server 2019 Datacenter. Shared storage is fulfilled by iSCSI (iSCSI1). Everything works well. Now, I have another iSCSI target on another physical storage system (iSCSI2) identical to iSCSI1. I want to enable SR so to replicate iSCSI1 with iSCSI2 so this happens through the Failover Cluster manager and it is the supported configuration for Stretched Clusters. My use case though is differnet. I only want to use the 2 nodes I have and I wish to use the Storage Replica as a means to make my two storage highly available. So if iSCSI1 goes down, FC will failover to isCSI2 storage. Is this a valid/supported scenario? Thank you
windows 2016 failover 2 node cluster shared disk data issue
Description of the problem: Failover cluster in windows 2016 under simplivity has issue with the shared disk, for example anything written on "shared disk cluster" owned under node01 cannot be reflected on node02 while takenover by the node02. Engineer Response: " Looked into it thoroughly and tested all option to resolve the issue, looks to me now that HP cluster configuration itself have shared disk problem. HP need to see this issue, create any test file in cluster shared disk and write some files from node1 and then for test purpose node1 need to be switchover to node2 and see if the file written by node1 is visible through node2.
