Microsoft SQL Server Failover Cluster with Cisco Data Center VM-FEX DVS Solution
This section provides a high-level physical and logical procedure for setting up a Microsoft SQL Server 2012
cluster failover deployment on a Microsoft Windows 2008 R2 guest virtual machine–based software iSCSI initiator
on a VMware ESX 5.0 host with a Cisco Data Center VM-FEX DVS in Cisco UCS to access NetApp shared iSCSI
storage in an iSCSI network environment.

Failover clustering provides very good protection in the event of hardware failure. Failover to a passive node is
fairly quick (between one and five minutes depending on the state of the cluster and database). Failover clustering
provides service availability but does not provide data redundancy like database mirroring and log shipping. Data
protection has to be provided at the storage level or in combination with other solutions.

Failover clustering provides host-level protection built on Microsoft Windows failover clustering. Cluster nodes
typically are co-located within the same site or data center to provide local availability, but they can also be
deployed regionally.

VMware ESX vSphere vMotion is not supported on virtual machines that are part of a Microsoft failover cluster
domain. Virtual machines that are part of the Microsoft failover cluster will not be able take advantage of the
automatic VMware Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS) feature. For more information about Microsoft clustering
