It's not supported...for now....kinda
That's all I can say about that at the moment. So why write anything at all? Well, because there are those of us who want to be able to test stuff and are not worried about support. So what's the skinny Scooby-Doo?
Ok, so while it may not be supported, it does work. Why isn't it supported? Well, there's a lot that goes into supporting other parties technologies. Look, you should be lucky VMware gives any advice on how to make third-party products work on their technology at all. Yes, bad attitude, but there is a lot that goes into it. So what am I rambling about today? Oh, yeah. I was thinking of testing some stuff on Windows 2012 and it required a cluster. Now, I have a lab where I can set up a working cluster, using raw-device maps and hosting cluster nodes on seperate hosts, but that's no fun. I wanted to play with Windows Server 2012. So I decided to use WS2012 iSCSI targets, really, only because the array in my personal lab doesn't support SCSI-3 persistent reservations...cheap POS, and doing so would give me something to blog about.
Let's assume you have a virtual infrastructure, nothing fancy, you don't need it. You too can have a fully functional WS2012 cluster on any version of vSphere! So here is your guide to setting up a sweet WS2012 cluster using nothing but virtual machines.
