Failover Cluster Deployment for Windows 2012 iSCSI File server.pdf
0 likes4 views
This document provides steps to deploy an iSCSI file server cluster in Windows 2012. It involves creating iSCSI targets, installing the failover cluster feature on two nodes, configuring the cluster with the nodes and iSCSI disks, adding a file server role, and creating a file share. Testing includes connecting to the share from a client PC and forcing ownership of the cluster to the other node to validate failover.
