If everything is configured properly, you should see the following in the Server Overview report. Please refer to the SIOS documentation to ensure the servers can communicate over the required ports.įirst, you must connect to each of the two nodes. NOTE - The most common error encountered in the following steps is security related, most often by pre-existing Azure Security groups blocking required ports. Once DataKeeper is installed on each of the two cluster nodes you are ready to configure DataKeeper. This is where we will specify the Domain account we added to each of the local Domain Administrators group.

Install DataKeeper on each of the two SQL Server cluster nodes as shown below. We will specify this account when we install DataKeeper. However, before we do that, you need to create a Domain account and add it to the Local Administrators group on each of the SQL Server cluster instances.

We are almost ready to install DataKeeper. Once the share is created, run the Configure Cluster Quorum wizard on one of the cluster nodes and follow the steps illustrated below. You will need to grant the Cluster Name Object (CNO) read/write permissions at both the Share and Security levels as shown below. On the 3rd server that we provisioned as the FSW, create a folder and share it as shown below. Next, we need to add the File Share Witness. Open the properties of the Cluster IP address and change it from DHCP to Static and assign it an unused IP address. On that same node, you should now be able to connect to the WSFC UI, where you will see the IP Address has failed to come online. To fix this problem, from one of the nodes run the following command to ensure the Cluster service is started on that node. Although the cluster will create properly, you will have a hard time connecting to the cluster until you fix this problem. Unfortunately, Azure's implementation of DHCP does not work as expected, and the cluster will be assigned the same address that is already being used by one of the nodes.

Because your instances are configured to use DHCP (required in Azure), the GUI wants to automatically assign you an IP address using DHCP. If you create the cluster using the GUI, you are not given the opportunity to choose an IP address for the cluster. This is part two of an article on how to create a two-node SQL Server 2008 R2 Failover Cluster Instance (FCI) in Azure, running on Windows Server 2008 R2.
