Critical SQL Server Databases: Provide HA with SQL Server Failover Clustering and Cluster Shared Volumes
The document discusses high availability (HA) in SQL Server databases, emphasizing the significance of continuous uptime versus mere operational status. It covers various availability percentages and their corresponding downtime, highlighting solutions like AlwaysOn Availability Groups and Failover Clustering to enhance resilience. Additionally, it introduces Starwind Virtual SAN as a cost-effective way to create fault-tolerant Cluster Shared Volumes by leveraging local storage.

- 31. Windows Server FailoverCluster failover let’s look at in the context of the storage SQL Server
- 32. Windows Server FailoverCluster the storage is owned by I/O workload only goes thru that single path to the storage onlyoneclusternode atatime SQL Server
- 33. Windows Server FailoverCluster SQL Server AD/DNS during failover, the storage gets “logically” dismounted from the failed node and remounted on the new active/primary node
- 34. Windows Server FailoverCluster SQL Server AD/DNS the amount of time it takes to bring the storage online depends on how long it takes to mount the storage to the new active/primary node
- 35. SQL Server Windows ServerFailover Cluster SQL Server with CSV, there are now multiple paths to the storage I/O workload can be routed thru different paths to the storage
- 36. Windows Server FailoverCluster SQL Server with CSV, no need to remount storage on new active/primary node after failover this reduces downtime, increases resiliency and reliability SQL Server
- 37. Windows Server FailoverCluster with CSV, no more 23 drive letter limitations this means you no longer have to memorize the alphabet in terms of failover cluster drives SQL ServerSQL Server
- 38. Windows Server FailoverCluster with CSV, the concept of *this means that SQL Server failover clustered instances no longer has a direct dependency on the shared drive to come online exclusiveownership ofstorage is redefined SQL ServerSQL Server
