Basic Configuration of the Failover Cluster

In this example, the processing server is deployed on a FOC cluster (FOC.cluster2008r2.ru). The cluster uses a net-

work with the address 192.168.0.0/24 and the domain cluster2008r2.ru.

The cluster consists of two nodes: Node1 and Node2.

Addressing in the Cluster

The Node1 and Node2 nodes have two network interfaces: one interface belongs to the 192.168.0.0/24 network, the

other may belong to your local area network (for example 10.0.0.0/16). The data storage only interfaces with the

192.168.0.0/24 network and is available only to the cluster nodes (i.e. Node1 and Node2).

Both networks are available to the cluster FOC.cluster2008r2.ru. Cluster traffic should only be allowed in the desig-

nated network 192.168.0.0/24 for security and workload balancing reasons. External users can access the data stor-

age through requests to Node1 and Node2. In order to allow cluster traffic in the 192.168.0.0/24 network, open the

Failover Cluster Manager, select Cluster Network in the Networks group, and choose Enabled in the Cluster Use

column (see the screenshot below).

Domain users

To set up domain user accounts:

1. Create two domain users, for example cluster2008r2\node1admin and cluster2008r2\node2admin.
