Answered Service Template - SQL Cluster

    Evening All,

    I am wanting to create a service template that will include an SQL 2008 R2 failover cluster. I would like to provision dedicated luns for sysdb,syslogs,userdbs and userlogs. What would be the best method to complete this?

    I can create a single SQL node with the lun mapped and create a vhd on top?

    Thanks

    Paul

    Hello Paul,

    As far as i know there is no options to make Guest SQL Cluster in VMM 2012.

    Guest Clustering is not supported with luns, just can be made by ISCSI.

    But good news , with Windows 2012 , we will be able to use LUN.

    Sincerely,

    Murat Demirkiran

    Hi, Paul

    The service template does not support building SQL Cluster , the SQL Sysprep configuration works only for Single standalone SQL installation

    Thanks both.

    When using iSCSI, will this be from within the guest, or the actual host?

    I can still create an sql cluster using SCORCH though, so shouldnt be a major show stopper.

    Cheers

    The iSCSI, should be from within the guest , so that both SQL VM see the same storage
