Failover Cluster in a box

Hi,
I'm in the process of building a test environment which requires a failover cluster for a SQL Server Always on configuration of 2 DB nodes. I have a single Windows 2012 R2 host server with Hyper-V installed and my guest OS's configured using local storage
on this server.
In order to create the guest failover cluster, I need to create a Quorum drive - which needs to be shared between the two DB nodes. Using only this physical host server and it's local storage, is this possible to achieve?
I believe that options for creating a shared VHDX disc are to host it on a CSV or a Scale out file server, but both of these seem to require the creation of a cluster themselves, which will require a Quorum disc on shared storage itself!
Thanks,
David
You can run a guest VM cluster on your single node no problem! You can spawn a third VM and expose SMB3 share (or iSCSI target LUN with a CSV on top of it if you want to run old-school) and put your shared VHDX there. See:
Virtualization: Hyper-V and High Availability
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/hh127064.aspx
"You can also cluster the virtual machines (VMs) themselves (“guests”) on a single host. Using virtual networks for heartbeat and virtual iSCSI for the quorum and other
attached storage lets you create guest clusters, even if the host hardware wouldn’t normally support it."

Cannot migrate VM in VMM but can in Failover Cluster Manager network adapters network optimization warning

I have a 4 node Server 2012 R2 Hyper-V Cluster and manage it with VMM 2012 R2. I just upgraded the cluster from 2012 RTM to 2012 R2 last week which meant pulling 2 nodes out of the existing cluster, creating the new R2 cluster, running the copy
cluster roles wizard since the VHDs are stored on CSVs, and then added the other 2 nodes after installing R2 on them, back into the cluster. After upgrading the cluster I am unable to migrate some VMs from one node to another. When trying to do
a live migration, I get the following notifications under the Rating Explanation tab:
Warning: There currently are not network adapters with network optimization available on host Node7.
Error: Configuration issues related to the virtual machine VM1 prevent deployment and must be resolved before deployment can continue.
I get this error for 3 out of the 4 nodes in the cluster. I do not get this error for Node10 and I can live migrate to that node in VMM. It has a green check for Network optimization. The others do not. These errors only affect
VMM. In the Failover Cluster Manager, I can live migrate any VM to any node in the cluster without any issues. In the old 2012 RTM cluster I used to get the warning but I could still migrate the VMs anywhere I wanted to. I've checked the network
adapter settings in VMM on VM1 and they are the same as VM2 which can migrate to any host in VMM. I then checked the network adapter settings of the VMs from the Failover Cluster Manager and VM1 under Hardware Acceleration has "Enable virtual machine
queue" and Enable IPsec task offloading" checked. I unchecked those 2 boxes refreshed the VMs, refreshed the cluster, rebooted the VM and refreshed again but I still could not live migrate VM1. Why is this an issue now but it wasn't before
running on the new cluster? How do I resolve the issue? VMM is useless if I can't migrate all my VMs with it.

I checked the settings on the physical nics on each node and here is what I found:
Node7: Virtual machine queue is not listed (Cannot live migrate problem VM's to this node in VMM)
Node8: Virtual machine queue is not listed (Cannot live migrate problem VM's to this node in VMM)
Node9: Virtual machine queue is listed and enabled (Cannot live migrate problem VM's to this node in VMM)Node10: Virtual machine queue is listed and enabled (Live Migration works on all VMs in VMM)
From Hyper-V or the Failover Cluster manager I can see in the network adapter settings of the VMs under Hardware Acceleration that these two settings are checked "Enable virtual machine queue" and Enable IPsec task offloading". I unchecked those
2 boxes, refreshed the VMs, refreshed the cluster, rebooted the VM and refreshed again but I still cannot live migrate the problem VMs.
It seems to me that if I could adjust those VM settings from VMM that it might fix the problem. Why isn't that an option to do so in VMM?
Do I have to rebuild the VMM server with a new DB and then before adding the Hyper-V cluster uncheck those two settings on the VM's from Hyper-V manager? That would be a lot of unnecessary work but I don't know what else to do at this point.

Exchange 2013 MBX in DAG along with Hyper-V and Failover Cluster

Hi Guys! I've tried to find out an answer of my question or some kind of solution, but with no luck that's why I am writing here. The case is as follows. I have two powerful server boxes and iSCSI storage and I have to design high availability
solution, which includes SCOM 2012, SC DPM 2012 and exchange 2013 (two CAS+HUB servers and two MBX servers).
Let me tell you how I plan to do that and you will correct me if proposed solution is wrong.
1. On both hosts - add Hyper-V role.
2. On both hosts - add failover clustering role.
3. Create 2 VMs through failover cluster manager, VMs will be stored on a iSCSI LUN, the first one VM for SCOM 2012 and the second one for SCDPM 2012. Both VMs will be added as failover resource.
4. Create 4 VMs - 2 for CAS+HUB role and 2 for MBX role, VMs will be stored on a iSCSI LUN as well.
5. Create a DAG within the two MBX servers.
In general, that's all. What I wonder is whether I can use failover clustering to acheive High Availability for 2 VMs and at the same time to create DAG between MBX-servers and NLB between CAS-servers?
Excuse me for this question, but I am not proficient in this matter.

Hi,
As far as I know, it’s supported to create DAG for mailbox server installed in hyper-v server.
And since load balance has been changed for CAS 2013, it is more worth with DNS round robin instead of NLB. However, you can use NLB in Exchange 2013.
For more information, you can refer to the following article:

Failover cluster node - You do not have administrative privileges on the server 'servername' ?

Hi Hello & Good morning Technet's,
I would like to post a question which i really expecting a solution.
I got 2 domain in one single forest.
Domain 1: hg.corp
Domain 2: iac.corp (iac.corp
is a tree domain under hg.corp forest)
Trust : Transitive
trust between hg.corp and iac.corp
Domain controller 1: dc.hg.corp
(for hg.corp)
Domain controller 2: iacdc.iac.corp
(for iac.corp)
I want to make a Fail-over cluster between this 2 domain controllers ( But both are in different domain literally, but in same forest )
Process Validate cluster in dc.hg.corp
dc.hg.corp can added, but iacdc.iac.corp failed (Error: You do not have administrative privilages on the
server 'iacdc')
Process Validate cluster in iacdc.iac.corp
iacdc.iac.corp can added, but dc.hg.corp failed (Error: You do not have administrative privilages on the
server 'dc.hg.corp')
Technet please provide me a solution for this issue, So i can reduce server box counts.
Thank you & Have a nice day.

The lease timeout between avaiability group and the Windows Server Failover Cluster has expired

Hi,
I am having some issues where I get a lease timeout from time to time. I have a Windows 2012 Failover Cluster with 2 nodes and 2 SQL 2012 Always-on Availability Groups. Both nodes
are a physical machines and each node is the primary for an AG.
From what I understand if
the HealhCheckTimeout
is exceeded without the signal exchange the lease is declared 'expired' and the SQL Server resource dll reports that the SQL Server availability group no longer 'looks alive' to the Windows cluster manager. Here are the properties I have setup
which are the default settings:
LeaseTimeout - 20000
HealthCheckTimeout - 30000
VerboseLoging - 0>
FailureConditionLevel – 3
Here are the events that occur in the Application Event Viewer:
Event ID 19407:
The lease between availability group 'AG_NAME' and the Windows Server Failover Cluster has expired. A connectivity issue occurred between the instance of SQL Server and the Windows Server Failover
Cluster. To determine whether the availability group is failing over correctly, check the corresponding availability group resource in the Windows Server Failover Cluster.
Event ID 35285:
The recovery LSN (120881:37533:1) was identified for the database with ID 32. This is an informational message only. No user action is required.
SQl server logs are too long to post in this box but I can send them if you request.
The AG is setup to failover automatically but it did not failover. I am trying to figure out why the lease timed out. Thanks.

From what I've been able to find out, this is due to an issue with the procedure sp_server_diagnostics. It sounds like the cluster is expecting this procedure to regularly log good status "Clean" in the log files, but the procedure is designed not
to flood the logs with "Clean" messages, so only reports changes, and does not make an entry when the last status was "Clean" and the current status is "Clean". The result is that the cluster looks to be unresponsive. However, once it initiates
the failover, the primary machine responds, since it was never really down, and the failover operation stops.
The end result is that there really never is a failover, but the database becomes unavailable for a few minutes while this is resolved.
I'm going to try setting the cluster's failure condition level to 2 (instead of 3) and see if that prevents the down time.

Guest two node Failover Cluster with SAS HBA and Windows 2012 R1

Hi all, i have two IBM x3560 brand new servers with V3700 IBM Storage. The Servers are connected to the storage through four SAS HBA adabters (two HBA's on each server). I want to create a two node guest Fileserver Failover Cluster. I can present the
LUN's to the guest machines, but when i 'm running the cluster creation wizard it can't see any disk. I can see the disks on disk management console. Is there any way to achive this (the cluster creation) using my SAS HBA presented
disks, or i have to use iSCSI to present the disks to my cluster?
Thank you in advance, George

1) Update to R2 and use shared VHDX which is a better way to go. See:
Shared VHDX

2) If you want to stick with non-R2 (which is a BAD idea b/c tons of reasons) you can spawn an iSCSI target on top of your storage, make it clustered and make it provide LUs to your guest VMs. See:
iSCSI Target in Failover

3) Use third-party software providing clustered storage (active-active) out-of-box.
I would strongly recommend to upgrade to R2 and use shared VHDX.

Guest VM failover cluster on Hyper-V 2012 Cluster does not work across hosts

Hi all,
We are evaluating Hyper-V on Windows Server 2012, and I have bumped in to this problem:
I have a Exchange 2010SP2 DAG installed on 2 vms in our Hyper-V cluster (a DAG forms a failover cluster, but does not use any shared storage). As long as my vms are on the same host, all is good. However, if I live migrate or shutdown-->move-->start one
of the guest nodes on another pysical host, it loses connectivity with the cluster. "regular" network is fine across hosts, and I can ping/browse one guest node from the other. I have tried looking for guidance for Exchange on Hyper-V clusters but have not
been able to find anything.
According to the Exchange documentation this configuration is supported, so I guess I'm asking for any tips and pointers on where to troubleshoot this.
regards,
Trond

Hi All,
so some updates...
We have a ticket logged with Microsoft, more of a check box exercise to reassure the business we're doing the needful. Anyway, they had us....
Apply hotfix http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2789968?wa=wsignin1.0 to both guest DAG nodes, which seems pretty random, but they wanted to update the TCP/IP stack...
There was no change in error, move guest to another Hyper-V node, and the failover cluster, well, fails with the following event ids I the node that fails...
1564 -File share witness resource 'xxxx)' failed to arbitrate for the file share 'xxx'. Please ensure that file share '\xxx' exists and is accessible by the cluster..
1069 - Cluster resource 'File Share Witness (xxxxx)' in clustered service or application 'Cluster Group' failed
1573 - Node xxxx failed to form a cluster. This was because the witness was not accessible. Please ensure that the witness resource is online and available
The other node stays up, and the Exchange DB's mounted on that node stay up, the ones mounted on the way that fails failover to the remaining node...
So we then
Removed 3 x Nic's in one of the 4 x NIC teams, so, leaving a single NIC in the team (no change)
Removed one NIC from the LACP group on each Hyper-V host
Created new Virtual Switch using this simple trunk port NIC on each Hyper-V host
Moved the DAG nodes to this vSwitch
Failover cluster works as expected, guest VM's running on separate Hyper-V hosts, when on this vswitch with single NIC
So Microsoft were keen to close the call, as there scope was, I kid you not, to "consider this issue
resolved once we are able to find the cause of the above mentioned issue", which we have now done, as in, teaming is the cause... argh.
But after talking, they are now escalating internally.
The other thing we are doing, is building Server 2010 Guests, and installing Exchange 2010 SP3, to get a Exchange 2010 DAG running on Server 2010 and see if this has the same issue, as people indicate that this is perhaps not got the same problem.
Cheers

SCVMM created VMs not displayed in Failover Cluster Manager

I have a 2012 Hyper-V failover cluster setup and recently added SCVMM 2012 SP1 to the mix so I could perform some P2V migrations and familiarize myself with its other many capabilities. I noticed that if I create a VM inside SCVMM it doesn't show up in the
FCM UI with the other VMs I created from FCM. VMs that you create in FCM do get picked up by SCVMM however. Is this by design?
Thanks,
Greg

For my issue above, this was because I'd not noticed and thus not ticked the box on the Live Migrate wizard that says "Make this VM highly available".
I moved the VM out of the cluster, manually deleted the failed "SCVMM <VMName> Resource", then moved the VM back onto the cluster again but this time ticking the box to make the VM highly available. All looked fine in failover cluster manager.
I do rather wonder why SCVMM designers think I might want to migrate a VM onto a Hyper-V cluster and NOT want it to be highly available...? Likewise, to be able to move the VM back out again to a standalone host once it's correctly in the cluster, you have
to untick the "Make this VM highly available box". Surely this should just be done automatically in the background?

2 Hyper-V Servers with Failover Cluster and a single File Server and .VHDs stored on a SMB 3 Share

I have 2 X M600 Dell Blades (100 GB local storage and 2 NICs) and a Single R720 File Server (2.5 TB local SAS storage and 6 NICs). I´m planning a Lab/developer enrironment using 2 Hyper-V Servers with Failover Cluster and a single File Server putting
all .VHDs stored on a SMB 3 Share on the File Server.
The ideia is to have a HA solution, live migration, etc, storing the .VHDs onm a SMB 3 share
\\fileserver\shareforVHDs
It is possible? How Cluster will understand the
\\fileserver\shareforVHDs as a cluster disk and offer HA on it?
Or i´ll have to "re-think" and forget about VHDs on SMb 3 Share and deploy using iSCSI?
Storage Spaces makes difference in this case?

You can do what you want to do just fine. Hyper-V / Windows Server 2012 R2 can use SMB 3.0 share instead of a block storage (iSCSI/FC/etc). See:
Deploy Hyper-V over SMB
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj134187.aspx
There would be no shared disk and no CSV just SMB 3.0 folder both hypervisor hosts would have access to. Much simplier to use. See:
Hyper-V recommends SMB or CSV ?
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/d6e06d59-bef3-42ba-82f1-5043713b5552/hyperv-recommends-smb-or-csv-
You'll have however a limited solution as your single physical server being a file server would be a single point of failure.
You can use Storage Spaces just fine but you cannot use Clustered Storage Spaces as in this case you'll have to take away your SAS spindles from your R720 box and mount them into SAS JBOD (make sure it's certified). So you get rid of an active components
(CPU, RAM) and keep more robust all-passive SAS JBOD as your physical shared storage. Better then a single Windows-running server but for a true fault tolerance you'll have to have 3 SAS JBODs. Not exactly cheap :) See:

Alternative way would be using Virtual SAN similar to VMware VSAN in this case you can get rid of a physical shared storage @ all and use cheap high capacity SATA spindles (and SATA SSDs!) instead of an expensive SAS.
Hope this helped :)

Reporting Services as a generic service in a failover cluster group?

There is some confusion on whether or not Microsoft will support a Reporting Services deployment on a failover cluster using scale-out, and adding the Reporting Services service as a generic service in a cluster group to achieve active-passive high
availability.
A deployment like this is described by Lukasz Pawlowski (Program Manager on the Reporting Services team) in this blog article
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/lukaszp/archive/2009/10/28/high-availability-frequently-asked-questions-about-failover-clustering-and-reporting-services.aspx. There it is stated that it can be done, and what needs to be considered when doing such a deployment.
This article (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb630402.aspx) on the other hand states: "Failover clustering is supported only for the report server database; you
cannot run the Report Server service as part of a failover cluster."
This is somewhat confusing to me. Can I expect to receive support from Microsoft for a setup like this?
Best Regards,
Peter Wretmo

Hi Peter,
Thanks for your posting.
As Lukasz said in the
blog, failover clustering with SSRS is possible. However, during the failover there is some time during which users will receive errors when accessing SSRS since the network names will resolve to a computer where the SSRS service is in the process of starting.
Besides, there are several considerations and manual steps involved on your part before configuring the failover clustering with SSRS service:
Impact on other applications that share the SQL Server. One common idea is to put SSRS in the same cluster group as SQL Server. If SQL Server is hosting multiple application databases, other than just the SSRS databases, a failure in SSRS may cause
a significant failover impact to the entire environment.
SSRS fails over independently of SQL Server.
If SSRS is running, it is going to do work on behalf of the overall deployment so it will be Active. To make SSRS Passive is to stop the SSRS service on all passive cluster nodes.
So, SSRS is designed to achieve High Availability through the Scale-Out deployment. Though a failover clustered SSRS deployment is achievable, it is not the best option for achieving High Availability with Reporting Services.

Difference between scalable and failover cluster

Difference between scalable and fail over cluster

A scalable cluster is usually associated with HPC clusters but some might argue that Oracle RAC is this type of cluster. Where the workload can be divided up and sent to many compute nodes. Usually used for a vectored workload.
A failover cluster is where a standby system or systems are available to take the workload when needed. Usually used for scalar workloads.
