For me i want to set up Failover cluster, for fale-safe file server. I hope to us windows server and failover cluster. But before that i want to see documantation and understand how is failover cluster is working. For Example:
I set up Failover cluster with 2 nodes.
Questions.

  1. How i can resolve problem with cluster after enabled only 1 node.
  2. If 2nd node is disabled after that 1st node disabling, and after that enabling only 2nd node. CLuster that moment can work or no?

    Failover clustering for file servers would use shared storage from the two servers in the cluster that has a entry point of a ip address and a virtual object for the cluster ip address. Basically your two failover hosts have their own ip addresses but one that has ownership of the file server failover will be the entry point for the ha file share. If that server fails then it misses th heartbeat and the live host takes over responding on the file share ip address.

    Hi，

    Please refer to this guide to create a failover cluster.

    How the cluster will work in case of node failure depends on the quorum configuration.

    If you have configured a witness, the cluster roles will fail over to the other node automatically when one node is down. If you have no witness, the cluster has a 50/50 chance of survival on one node failure. Only one of the two nodes has vote and the cluster will fail when this node is down.
