### Prepare windows cluster SharePoint

This part demonstrate how to configure windows cluster for two server, to be used
as SQL Cluster.[⌊failover clustering 1060x283⌉](https://sharepointtechnicalsupport.com/prepare-windows-cluster-sharepoint/failover-clustering-1060x283/#main)

 

 

### Before you start

You need to have two network adapters on each node, one Public and one Private(for
heartbeat communication).

Shared storage (like SAN storage) should be present and connected to both cluster
nodes  with at least:

 * Quorum Disk (5GB)
 * DTC Disk (1GB)
 * SQL data files and log file disk(s)

domain user account (SPSadmin): add SPSadmin user as administrator on both servers

Prepare a preserved static IP and Cluster Name to be used.

Prepare a preserved static IP and DTC Name to be used.

#### Windows Cluster Configuration

 1.  Install latest windows updates on all server nodes.
 2.  Install Application role and IIS role on both SQL DB server nodes.Install[⌊serverroles failovercluster 1209x541⌉](https://sharepointtechnicalsupport.com/prepare-windows-cluster-sharepoint/serverroles-failovercluster-1209x541-2/#main)
 3.  Fail over clustering feature on both SQL DB server nodes.[⌊server roles failover clustering 964x400⌉](https://sharepointtechnicalsupport.com/prepare-windows-cluster-sharepoint/server-roles-failover-clustering-964x400/#main)
 4.  Provide a Cluster Name and Cluster IP for the database nodes: Make sure that the
     public network is used here not the private.[⌊failover clustering 1164x416⌉](https://sharepointtechnicalsupport.com/prepare-windows-cluster-sharepoint/failover-clustering-1164x416/#main)
 5.  Below are the servers info.[⌊failover clustering 1033x418⌉](https://sharepointtechnicalsupport.com/prepare-windows-cluster-sharepoint/failover-clustering-1033x418/#main)
 6.  Cluster Disk files are configured as the following:[⌊failover clustering 1106x433⌉](https://sharepointtechnicalsupport.com/prepare-windows-cluster-sharepoint/failover-clustering-1106x433/#main)
 7.  Configure DTC as clustered service , this is a pre requisite for SQL Cluster installation.

 8.  DTC cluster configuration.[⌊failover clustering 1104x432⌉](https://sharepointtechnicalsupport.com/prepare-windows-cluster-sharepoint/failover-clustering-1104x432/#main)
 9.  Assign the DTC a cluster disk.[⌊failover clustering 1154x429⌉](https://sharepointtechnicalsupport.com/prepare-windows-cluster-sharepoint/failover-clustering-1154x429/#main)
 10. Create SQL Group which is a logical group to include all [SQL](https://sharepointtechnicalsupport.com/tag/sql/)
     resources in :
