Add FSW to 3 Node Cluster

  • Morning All,

    I have a 3 node cluster, with 2x nodes in data centre A and 1 node in Data Centre B.

    Even though we have an odd number of nodes for Quorum, would it make sense to add a third location (we already own a 3rd datacentre (C) ) fileshare witness with an extra number of votes?

    I reason this as a third location being able to monitor the other two locations (A and B) would be er.. better? And if so, would giving that 3rd location 2 votes be the right way to maintain an odd number of votes? Or would you give another node an extra vote instead?

    Cheers
    Alex

  • if doing this you'll need to remove a vot from a node, if its windows 2012 or above it will balance the votes for you when you add the FSW.
    As you're already using Majority Node Set just leave it alone
