High availability failover clustering with 2xR640 + 2xSCv3020 + Windows Datacenter 2019
Hello, I am currently setting up this hardware, each half being located on the same site but in a separate building, roughly 350 meters apart from each others.
My intend is to run manufacturing application running in virtual machines (Hyper-V) and provide high availability with automatic switchover in case of single-component failure.
It is my first experience with this kind of hardware, things are currently setup as follows :
Based on this design, could someone do some recommendations and/or corrections if I did anything wrong ?
Best regards,
Benoît.

Hello Ben0it,
Here is the link to the Administrator guide for your SCv3020 & it explains more how to configure your replication on page 520.

Hello Ben0it,
From what I can tell you have setup your SCv3020 as shown in our deployment guide. I am not seeing any issues with how your setup has been done.
Please let us know if you have any other questions.

Hello DELL-Sam L, thanks for your review.
I have another question indeed, related to automatic failover mode of the Windows Datacenter 2019 cluster :
Suppose I create a live Live Volume with synchronous replication between my two SCv3020 for a virtual machine running on the cluster.
How shall this Live volume be mapped on the two servers ?
Best Regards,
Benoît.

Hello Dell-Sam L, thanks for the link.
I am still reading the guide, while I'm thinking about the following scenarios and how a cluster + disk area recovers :
Do you know if each of the 4 cases is recoverable ?
Best Regards,
Benoît.
