Starting Microsoft SQL Server 2012 version, the SQL Server clustering is called SQL Server 2012 AlwaysOn.

Recently, I have setup, configured, and installed SQL Server 2012 Clustering in VMware environment.

These are five nodes clustering  that consisted of:

• RAM                      : 8 GM
• 2 Network Cards  : Private LAN  +  Public LAN

SQL-Node2

• O/S                        : Window Server 2012 R2
• RAM                      : 8 GM
• 2 Network Cards  : Private LAN  +  Public LAN

SQL-Node3
