What's different about configuring a Windows cluster in Azure

  • Trying to setup a test SQL failover instance on Azure. Already setup a DC.

    Is there a especial step to configure or present the "shared" disks for the cluster?  All the documentation I can find online skips or does not detail the actual steps for the cluster setup, only last steps for SQL.

    Any help or documentation regarding this is highly appreciated

  • I personally haven't done this, but a quick google brought this up:

    https://officeline.gr/2020/04/04/azure-failover-cluster-with-shared-disk-step-by-step/

    It explains how to set up a failover cluster with shared disk in a step-by-step process.

    The above is all just my opinion on what you should do. 
    As with all advice you find on a random internet forum - you shouldn't blindly follow it.  Always test on a test server to see if there is negative side effects before making changes to live!
    I recommend you NEVER run "random code" you found online on any system you care about UNLESS you understand and can verify the code OR you don't care if the code trashes your system.

  • there are other documents but have a look at this one

    and you can google for "azure failover cluster shared storage" to find others

  • Thanks a lot for the quick reply ...
