Validating Active Directory and DNS have the correct cluster
information.
This concludes the setup and configuration of Windows Failover Clustering. In the next
section, we will validate the network configuration for the cluster.
Validate Cluster Network Configuration
Next, we want to verify the network configuration for the cluster is correct and we are
allowing client communication on the right network, our routable network (LAN), and
not down our nonroutable network (Heartbeat). To do this, open the
Failover Cluster
Manager
from Windows Server Manager (under
Tools
in the upper right). Connect to
the newly created cluster (wfc4sql01.s2012.domain) and expand
Network
. Click
Cluster Network 1
and then
Properties
. For Cluster Network 1, we see this contains
our routable network and there is a check box next to
Allow clients to connect through
this network
. Close the dialog box and repeat for Cluster Network 2. On the Cluster
Network 2 dialog box, we identify this is using our nonroutable network and there is no
check mark next to
Allow clients to connect through this network
.
