You are going to create a Windows Cluster in Part 2 of our series on how to build a SQL Cluster Lab. You will run cluster validation followed by creating the Windows Server Failover Cluster. In addition, you configure the Cluster Networks and a File Share Witness. Here are links to the other articles in the series.
- Part 1 - Building the environment. Hyper-v VMs, Active Directory, DNS, and Routing and Remote Access Services
- Part 2 - Windows Failover Clustering. Cluster validation, networks, and quorum
