2 NODE CLUSTER HB NETWORK


i setup 2 node windows 2012 cluster , picked 2 networks prod , iscsi did not pick nic want use heartbeat. how add this

did run validation wizard?  tells wrong nic configuration.  guess have not configured them on same network, or @ least, can't reach each other.  or, might have put them in same subnet 1 of other nics, not acceptable.  cluster validation wizard friend.  provides lots of useful information troubleshooting.

btw, there no requirement dedicated 'cluster heartbeat' network there in windows 2003 , previous.  microsoft rewrote logic.  there called cluster communication.  automatically configured on every nic configured in cluster.  cluster communication contains heartbeat function other cluster communication.  therefore, production network carrying cluster communication (which includes heartbeat).  said, still makes sense have @ least 2 different nics (or teamed nic) carrying cluster communication.
