Introduction to Building Hyper-V Clusters
As previously mentioned, a cluster is a group of appropriately configured servers and shared storage, certified for Windows Server 2012, that work together and can be accessed as a single system. When you look at the anatomy of a cluster, as shown in Figure 8-1, it is typically made up of several components:
- Servers that are connected to multiple networks, either via a single NIC or an LBFO team of NICs
- Servers that are connected to some form of shared storage (that is, shared SAS, iSCSI, or Fibre Channel), either via a single path to the storage array or via multipath
