This creates a VM with the following virtual hardware:
Get-CDDrive -VM $vmName | Set-CDDrive -IsoPath $cdpath -StartConnected $true -Confirm:$false New-NetworkAdapter -VM $vmName -NetworkName $netCluster -Type vmxnet3 -StartConnected -Confirm:$false # Add second network adapter for cluster communication Get-NetworkAdapter -VM $vmName | Set-NetworkAdapter -Type vmxnet3 -Confirm:$false New-VM -name $vmName -ResourcePool $m圜luster -numcpu $numCPU -memoryMB $numMem -DiskMB $numDisk -datastore $ds -DiskStorageFormat $vmdkFormat -Network $net -guestID $guestOS -cd -Version $ver $iso = "en_windows_server_2012_r2_with_update_圆4_dvd_4065220.iso"Ĭonnect-VIServer $vc -credential $credential However it does require more command-line knowledge, a skill Windows sysadmins tend to shy away from – so I guess less people around to fix it if it does break.Ĭreate a PowerCLI script called build_1stNode.ps1 (substitute names accordingly): # Variables There’s less OS, which means less to break, less to patch, less to hack. Microsoft SQL Server 2014 supports both Windows Server 2012 R2 and Server Core installations. In an effort to maximise performance, lower administration and reduce the OS footprint, I will be using Windows Server 2012 R2 Server Core.
#INSTALL SQL SERVER 2014 FAILOVER CLUSTER STEP BY STEP HOW TO#
Microsoft clustering on VMware has been available for about for ten years, but it’s been a while since I setup a cluster using MSCS on vSphere and I welcomed the opportunity to refresh my memory on how to do it.Īs the lab is still running on vSphere 5.5 and my SQL servers are multi-processor VMs, using FT to provide continuous uptime isn’t an option. I still need high availability for my SQL Server, and Microsoft Clustering Services would be ideal.
Unfortunately it has never worked perfectly, and today I decided it was time to do the job right. When it first came out last year, I installed Microsoft SQL 2014 and configured an Availability Group to host my vCenter database (despite it not being supported).
