    Dear Gurus,

    I have a SQL Cluster with the followings.

    Windows Server 2008 R2

    SQL Server 2012

    Shared Storage(SAN)

    Now i have another requirement of SQL Server 2012 AlwaysOn which a news feature in SQL Server 2012 for HA and DR. Your kind support is required for the below clarification.

    For a two node AlwaysOn

    Do we need a Shared Storage(SAN) for SQL Server 2012 AlwaysOn

    Do we need to have independent storage on each node for db restoration.

    do we need to install SQL Server 2012 on each of the node with same and independent instance

    Please suggest with your goodself and i will be very thankful if any specific Web Link /video Link is shared.

    Regards.

    Could you let us know why you want to set up Always ON availability groups on the SQL Server cluster, external to the SQL Server failover cluster instances on the same cluster ?
