24. SynchronousAsynchronous No data lossPotential data loss on hard failures Requires high bandwidth/low latency connection Enough bandwidth to keep up with data replication Stretches over shorter distances Stretches over longer distances Write latencies impact application performance No significant impact on application performance

27. Vote Majority is greater than 50% Possible Voters: Nodes (1 each) + 1 Witness (Disk or File Share) 4 Quorum Types

28. Replicated Storage from vendor ? Vote

29. Site B Site A Cross site network connectivity broken! Can I communicate with majority of the nodes in the cluster? Yes, then Stay Up Can I communicate with majority of the nodes in the cluster? Yes, then Stay Up Can I communicate with majority of the nodes in the cluster? No, drop out of Cluster Membership Can I communicate with majority of the nodes in the cluster? No, drop out of Cluster Membership 5 Node Cluster: Majority = 3 Majority in Primary Site Node Majority

30. Site BSite A Disaster at Site 1 We are down! Can I communicate with majority of the nodes in the cluster? No, drop out of Cluster Membership Can I communicate with majority of the nodes in the cluster? No, drop out of Cluster Membership Majority in Primary Site 5 Node Cluster: Majority = 3 Need to force quorum manually

36. AreaConsiderations Network-On cross-subnet failover, if guest is … -DHCP, then IP updated automatically -Statically configured IP, then admin needs to configure new IP -Use VLAN preferred with live migration between sites Storage-3 rd party replication solution required -Configuration with CSV (explained next) Quorum-No special considerations Links: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd197488.aspxhttp://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd197488.aspx
