Hi,

 

ja ist supported.

A file server configured as a single server or in a failover cluster with continuously available or scale-out file shares.

 

Allerdings empfiehlt Microsoft einen Scale-Out File Server nur für Hyper-V oder SQL zu nutzen.

 

 

Scale-Out File Server for application data   This clustered file server feature was introduced in Windows Server 2012, and it lets you store server application data, such as Hyper-V virtual machine files, on file shares, and obtain a similar level of reliability, availability, manageability, and high performance that you would expect from a storage area network. All file shares are simultaneously online on all nodes. File shares associated with this type of clustered file server are called scale-out file shares. This is sometimes referred to as active-active. This is the recommended file server type when deploying either Hyper-V over Server Message Block (SMB) or Microsoft SQL Server over SMB.

 

File Server for general use   This is the continuation of the clustered file server that has been supported in Windows Server since the introduction of Failover Clustering. This type of clustered file server, and therefore all the shares associated with the clustered file server, is online on one node at a time. This is sometimes referred to as active-passive or dual-active. File shares associated with this type of clustered file server are called clustered file shares. This is the recommended file server type when deploying information worker scenarios.

Wird das aber Supported, das man nur FileShares darüber betreibt?

Jein.

 

You should not use Scale-Out File Server if your workload generates a high number of metadata operations, such as opening files, closing files, creating new files, or renaming existing files. A typical information worker would generate a lot of metadata operations. You should use a Scale-Out File Server if you are interested in the scalability and simplicity that it offers and if you only require technologies that are supported with Scale-Out File Server.

Ich würde davon die Finger lassen. Ein anderer Dienstleister hat es bei einem meiner Kunden empfohlen, eingeführt und recht passabel vor die Wand gesetzt. Die Empfehlung von MS sollte nicht als Empfehlung, sondern also Warnung verstanden werden.
