Follow me and learn Windows Server 2012 – Clustered Shared Volumes
Hi Bruce here again! Night 25 only 5 nights left in my quest. Tonight I am learning about Clustered Shared Volumes. Microsoft first introduced CSV in 2008R2 since then Microsoft has improved on it. CSV in Failover clustering allow multiple nodes in a cluster to simultaneously access the same disk. Here are some thinks I learned about CSV
- CSV can fail over quickly without requiring a change in drive ownership
- The failover will not require a dismount or remount of the CSV Volume
- It helps simplify management
- Scale-out File Server can use an CSV
- CSV supports Bitlocker
- CSV supports Storage spaces
- CSV supports backup
- CSV supports Anti-Virus
Here are the resources I used to study up on this topic:
