This topic shows how to create a failover cluster by using either the Failover Cluster Manager snap-in or Windows PowerShell. The topic covers a typical deployment, where computer objects for the cluster and its associated clustered roles are created in Active Directory Domain Services AD DS. You can also deploy an Active Directory-detached cluster.

This deployment method enables you to create a failover cluster without permissions to create computer objects in AD DS or the need to request that computer objects are prestaged in AD DS.

This option is only available through Windows PowerShell, and is only recommended for specific scenarios. This requirement does not apply if you want to create an Active Directory-detached cluster in Windows Server R2. You must install the Failover Clustering feature on every server that you want to add as a failover cluster node.

On the Select installation type page, select Role-based or feature-based installation , and then select Next.

On the Select destination server page, select the server where you want to install the feature, and then select Next. On the Select features page, select the Failover Clustering check box. To install the failover cluster management tools, select Add Features , and then select Next.

On the Confirm installation selections page, select Install. A server restart is not required for the Failover Clustering feature. After you install the Failover Clustering feature, we recommend that you apply the latest updates from Windows Update. Also, for a Windows Server based failover cluster, review the Recommended hotfixes and updates for Windows Server based failover clusters Microsoft Support article and install any updates that apply. Before you create the failover cluster, we strongly recommend that you validate the configuration to make sure that the hardware and hardware settings are compatible with failover clustering.

Microsoft supports a cluster solution only if the complete configuration passes all validation tests and if all hardware is certified for the version of Windows Server that the cluster nodes are running.

You must have at least two nodes to run all tests. If you have only one node, many of the critical storage tests do not run. On the Select Servers or a Cluster page, in the Enter name box, enter the NetBIOS name or the fully qualified domain name of a server that you plan to add as a failover cluster node, and then select Add.

Repeat this step for each server that you want to add. To add multiple servers at the same time, separate the names by a comma or by a semicolon. For example, enter the names in the format server1. When you are finished, select Next. On the Testing Options page, select Run all tests recommended , and then select Next. If the results indicate that the tests completed successfully and the configuration is suited for clustering, and you want to create the cluster immediately, make sure that the Create the cluster now using the validated nodes check box is selected, and then select Finish.

Then, continue to step 4 of the Create the failover cluster procedure. If the results indicate that there were warnings or failures, select View Report to view the details and determine which issues must be corrected. Realize that a warning for a particular validation test indicates that this aspect of the failover cluster can be supported, but might not meet the recommended best practices.

If you receive a warning for the Validate Storage Spaces Persistent Reservation test, see the blog post Windows Failover Cluster validation warning indicates your disks don't support the persistent reservations for Storage Spaces for more information. For more information about hardware validation tests, see Validate Hardware for a Failover Cluster.

To complete this step, make sure that the user account that you log on as meets the requirements that are outlined in the Verify the prerequisites section of this topic. Privacy policy. Thank you. The Get-ClusterLog cmdlet creates a log file for all nodes, or a specific a node, in a failover cluster.

When creating a log file for the cluster, you can specify the timespan that you want logged information for in addition to providing a destination for the created logs. This command creates a log file for each node of the local cluster, and copies all logs to the local folder. The log covers the last 5 minutes. Specifies the name of the cluster on which to run this cmdlet. If the input for this parameter is. Specifies the location to which to copy one or more cluster logs. To copy to the current folder, use.
