If we want to deploy SQL Server as Always On Failover Cluster Instances with iSCSI as storage, we filtered out two possibilities for our data files:
- directly use Clustered Shared Volumes (created from iSCSI)
- use SMB shares on a scale out file server that itself uses storage from iSCSI
Is there any advantage for the second solution or does this introduce an unnecessary overhead to use a file server?
Is there any recommendation for "best" storage for SQL Server on Failover Cluster?
Thank you for your help,
Ina
