VMware: Windows Server 2012 Does Not Support VMware Failover Clustering

Based on VMware KB article 1037959, near the bottom it states as follows:

“Windows Server 2012 does not support failover clustering. For more information, see the Miscellaneous Issues section of the Release Notes.”

Furthermore, based on the release notes, here it states:

 "Windows Server 2012 Failover Clustering is not supported If you try to create a cluster for Failover Clustering in Windows Server 2012, and select to run validation tests, the wizard completes the validation tests with warnings, and after that returns to running the validation tests again. The wizard in the Windows Server 2012 guest operating system does not continue to the cluster creation stage.

Workaround: None."

In this case, Hyper-V is the preferred virtualization platform for Microsoft products. Microsoft Hyper-V is systematically created, developed, tested and runs Microsoft production workloads at global scale for both internal and external IT resources.
