I could actually find five unique methods to do it. Some of them will actually not give you a fully fault-tolerant solution, but most of them actually make sense in specific scenarios (even if only for demonstrations). In any case, just trying to understand and differentiate them will probably be a good exercise.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>And here are the titles for your clustering options:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Parent-based Failover Clustering with two physical servers <\/li>\n<li>Child-based Failover Clustering with two physical servers<\/li>\n<li>Mixed Physical\/Virtual Failover Clustering<\/li>\n<li>Failover Clustering with two child partitions on one physical server<\/li>\n<li>Standalone demo laptop with Virtual iSCSI SAN<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Jose has done a great job documenting them, and I think this post will serve as a good reference.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Clustering is a real requirement for many mission-critical applications.&#160; Fortunately, most virtualization platforms (including Microsoft&#8217;s Hyper-V) support several options.&#160; The main approaches involve either clustering within Guest OS&#8217;s (i.e., within a VM if the guest OS supports it), or by using shared storage at the host level.&#160; But, clever systems administrators can often come up [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27,12],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-324","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-ms-microsoft-hyper-v","category-virtualization"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/anildesai.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/324","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/anildesai.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/anildesai.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anildesai.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anildesai.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=324"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/anildesai.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/324\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/anildesai.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=324"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anildesai.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=324"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anildesai.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=324"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
