Hello, and welcome to Pluralsight. Welcome to this module,
Configure a Windows Server Failover Cluster.
My name's Tim Warner. In this module, we're picking up where we left off in the
previous module in which we understood Windows Server failover clustering and
we deployed a cluster with no shared storage yet.
Today, we're going to modify quorum options, we'll configure network
adapters for clustering, this is an optimization step,
we'll understand common cluster workload options, and well understand
cluster sets. The Implement and Manage Windows Server High Availability
course consists of five interrelated modules,
all of which correspond to exam AZ‑801. First module was on
implementing failover clusters. We're now configuring. We then will
manage. That actually spans two modules. And then we finish with
Storage Spaces Direct in particular.
This course is pretty much all about failover clustering as a way to provide
high availability for your Windows Server‑based workloads.
Yes,
it's a big subject in general, but it's also a big focus of exam AZ‑801. As I
mentioned in the previous module, if you go into AZ‑801 without a very solid
understanding of Windows Server failover clustering, I don't think you'll pass
the exam, so this is important stuff. Let's proceed.
