Application Management - Clustering SQL Guest Instances in System Center 2012 R2

With the preview release of System Center 2012 R2 there are a few additions to VMM 2012 that make clustering with Windows Failover Clustering in guest VMs significantly easier. Microsoft’s Kurt Scherer has a couple articles that explain how to use Service Templates to leverage these new features in System Center 2012 R2 Virtual Machine Manager to build a guest cluster with a Failover Cluster Instance installation of SQL Server as well as providing a downloadable sample that you can tailor to your environment. If you haven’t seen Kurt’s posts yet then you can check them out using the links below.
