MSCS, NLB, VmWare vSphere 5 with iSCSI SAN


Dear all,

I am reading the document Setup for Failover Clustering and Microsoft Cluster Service in order to understand to design a clustered setup spread over several ESX hosts running vSphere 5.0 Enterprise.

Any idea what is the best setup?

My suggestion was:

* 2 VM's running Win2K8 R2 -  SQL 2008 R2 Active Passive cluster - vm's are running on RAID10 iSCSI box

* Present dedicated Volume via MS iSCSI initiator to 2 vm's to host SQL Database - also running on RAID10 iSCSI box

However this guide mentioned Pass-through RMD disks on clusters across physical machines and also mentioned clustering on iSCSi disks is not supported ...

Kind regards,

Kenny
