Microsoft CSV Request

Anonymous

The in-house developed application is currently running on the Windows Server platform and Microsoft Terminal Services to host multiple users. Every user has its own set of configurations and executable files to run the application and interact with the database.

We need to achieve better redundancy of our file services in a shared terminal server environment by adopting Microsoft Cluster Shared Volumes across all terminal servers on a shared farm.
The suggested architecture is illustrated in the diagram.

Environment details:
• Platform – VMware Cloud on AWS
• OS – Windows Server 2012/2016/2019
• Access model – Microsoft Terminal Services

The questions we have are as follows:

Will our suggested architecture be supported by Microsoft from the CSV perspective? CSV in our case will be used to store data and executable files of the application for every user.
Are there are any concerns about using Cluster Shared Volumes in such a configuration?

HI
1.are all 4 VMs(RDsession host server) (include os volume and other data volume)are stored in Cluster Shared Volumes (CSV) ?

2.do you want to only install RDsession host role and RDlicensing role on all 4 VMs? RDCB,RDgateway,RDweb role will not be installed in this CSV environment ?
3.you share the picture about CSV,howevet ,how did you plan to deploy RDS environment?
4."OS – Windows Server 2012/2016/2019" why don't we use w2019 os for all vms ?
