+  * Cluster Shared Volumes are volumes in a failover cluster that multiple nodes can read from and write to at the same time
   * This feature enables multiple nodes to concurrently access a single shared volume
   * CSV is supported on WS2008R2 and newer

 ==== Failover Clusters ====
+See also **[[virtualization:microsoft:hyper-v-cluster|Hyper-V Cluster]]**.
+  * All servers in the cluster must be in the same Active Directory domain
+  * Use basic disks, not dynamic disks
+  * Format the partitions with NTFS
+  * Partition disks with MBR or GPT partition tables
+  * Do not expose the clustered volumes to servers that are not in the cluster
+  * A witness disk holds a copy of the cluster configuration database
+  * Failover Clusters can use Cluster Shared Volumes
+  * Use Microsoft Multipath I/O (MPIO) for highly available storage
+  * :?: Requires Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise or Windows Server 2008 R2 Datacenter
+    * Also available on Hyper-V Server 2012
+=== Two-Node Cluster ===
   * For a two-node failover cluster, the storage should contain at least two separate volumes (LUNs) configured at the hardware level
-    * Do not expose the clustered volumes to servers that are not in the cluster
     * One volume will function as the witness disk
     * One volume will contain the files that are being shared between the cluster nodes
       * This volume serves as the shared storage on which you will create the virtual machine and the virtual hard disk
+===== MPIO =====
+:!: When configuring iSCSI Discovery and iSCSI Targets, be sure to click the 'Advanced' button to specify:
+  * Local Adapter
+  * Intiator IP
+  * Target Portal IP
