• A company XYZ has a finance department which requires a service to be high available. You will need to 1) complete the requirement analysis (with reasonable assumptions); 2) design the solution for the department; 3) implement the solution; and 4) adjust the design and implementation at session 8 to meet the new requirements.

  The solution needs to include

  • a domain controller,
  • a storage server,
  • a failover cluster with at least two nodes,
  • an application server running the service,
  • a scenario of live migration of the application server from one cluster node to another, and
  • a scenario of failover when the cluster node hosting the application server was down.

  The department has a network of 172.20.10.0/24. All the names, including domain, computer name, cluster name need to start with the companys name XYZ.

  At the submission session there will be new requirements which you will need to modify your design and implementation to accommodate the new requirement in class.

  What to be included in the submission document (no adjustment to the new requirements released in the submission session will not be considered as a valid submission):

  1 Requirement description and analysis

  Mapped to the technical requirements of the following components

  - a domain controller, - a storage server, - a failover cluster with at least two nodes, - an application server (Hyper-V) running the service (hosting VMs)

  2 Design (including the adjustment to the new requirements released at the submission session)

  Architecture of the solution marked with key components, parameters, connections

  VM name, CPU, memory, disk, network of

  - a domain controller, - a storage server, - a failover cluster with at least two nodes, - an application server running the service

  Steps of creating the following components with the corresponding parameters

  - a domain controller, - a storage server, - a failover cluster with at least two nodes, - an application server running the service

  Steps of performing operations for the following scenarios

  - a scenario of live migration of the application server from one cluster node to another, and - a scenario of failover when the cluster node hosting the application server was down.

  3. Implementation including the adjustment to the new requirements released at the submission session
