Hi
I need a little advice
I have migrated a 2 node 2008R2 cluster to 2012R2, so happy with myself.
However i wanted to introduce a 3rd node as we want to increase capacity. So here is the issue. Up to now the Heartbeat and live migration networks were simply nic to nic cabling. i have a NIC team on both current servers for these networks and it works fine.
However to add the 3rd server can i continue to use this method by adding a team on the 3rd node and direct connectivity between the other 2, or do i need a 2nd or even 3rd live migration network and heartbeat network to triangulate?
I appreciate the best option is a switch, but the network guys wont let me use the core switch, so i am stuck trying to use direct cabling.
thanks
Olly
