Failover cluster with Storage spaces direct 2016 / 2019

P

Good morning all ,


This is a long one so please bear with me.

We intend to have nodes setup in a mobile platform.
Each node will comprise of , 6-8 VM’s , 2 NIC cards (teamed) , some storage . one of the VMs will be a File Share VM.

The nodes will have failover cluster setup using cluster Qorom and we would like the storage setup as spaces direct. The intention is to use the File Share VM as a witness.

The questions we have are as follows :


1. Can cluster Qorom (failover cluster ) and pool Qorom (storage spaces) run simultanousely on the same node or do we have to go with one.

2. if one of the node drops out of the cluster can it still support the clients attached to it with its local services.


3. If a client moves into a closer range of another node within that cluster will it use the services from that cluster.

4. From the shared storage ( storage spaces ) could this then be stretch clustered with a centralised static node.


I appreciate this is a weird scenario but for context imagine at a large festival several veichle with servers dotted around a large geographical location.

Both the veichles and clients have the ability to move around the area. All will be networked using sime form of wirkess tecgnology . With the clients avcessing the network via a handheld device / tablet / notebook.


Any help will be greatly appreciated


stay safe
