Witness server

[psrang]

Hi Expert

We are plan to deploy 2 cluster HPE SVT using DL380 G10. The cluster only 2 node.

Do we need to buy each cluster with each witness or can one witness handle 2 cluster?

Hi psrang,

One Witness server ( arbiter) can manage two clusters with two node each.

Hi Shivam

Thanks for you feedback.

Got it, at least we can save the physical server for Arbiter.

Hi

the arbiter is just a service that runs on a windows server or workstation

it does not use any resources and can run on nearly any system including 

domain controller windows 10 workstation.

so it does need a dedicated server. as long as it is not part of your cluster.
