So we're going to create a lab to practice the topics that we're going to be covering and as Mike Sharp
Escarole Server 2019 failover cluster training.
The lab is going to consist of virtual computers, so you won't have to invest in a machine room.
So in other words, it's going to work in a virtual network, so this way you'll be able to practice
as much as you want to and fail as much as you want to as well.
Without causing anybody any harm.
So if you want to, you can use this lab environment for different trainings in the future.
It really will be that useful.
So for the lab setup, first of all, we will install virtualization software called Oracle Virtual
Box, then we will install three Windows Server 2019 data center.
We will install active directory on one of the virtual servers.
So to install to ask you all servers, we will install a Windows Server 2019 server and connect to each
other as a cluster.
Now, this is important.
There will be two Ethernet cards in each of our virtual servers where we're going to be installing escarole
server, one of these either NAT cards will be used for the cluster and the other will be used for communication
with the outside world.
Right, so the next step, we will install Microsoft Escarole Server 2019 on two servers and set them
up as a cluster.
Then in the last stage, we will install Escorial Server Management Studio to perform Microsoft Escarole
Server 2019 database operations on these two servers.
All right, so then after the installation, the general drawing of the lab will be as follows.
But first, I do want to mention that virtualization software uses the resources of the host computer,
right.
So for this reason, it is recommended that the host computer on which you will install your lab has
at least the following features.
Got to be a four core CPU, at least eight gigabytes of RAM.
So we recommend even 16.
250 gigs of free hard disk space.
And a video card that gives you at least a gigabyte of RAM.
So let's get started.
Why are you taking so long?
