Add a cluster witness

Precaution

Here I will deviate from Microsoft's proposed solution. I originally thought of creating a witness using the "scale out file server" method. I couldn't really get my head wrapped around why the guide would want me to create a whole new cluster just for this. That just seems a bit... over the top. Especially for just a lab-setup and especially since the 2-node hyperconvergence setup is made to save money for SME's

Another means of doing so would be Microsoft Azure (Cloud Witness), which I already said I wouldn't.

On with the cluster witness

I just created a goold old-fashoined File Share Witness, which is supported and also recommended by Microsoft by the way.

Go to your Failover Cluster Manager, connect to your cluster if needed. And go to "configure cluster Quorum settings".

Choose the advanced option

Click next

Give the share a name on your Witness computer (my DC in my case) and create a folder for it. Check the necessary rights as well

Just make sure the UNC-path is mentioned. Not the actual local path. And you can just click "next" until the finish
