No. &nbsp;I am truly perplexed

when you installed the role, it should have created an icon.<br />
<br />
just check the following:-<br />
<br />
%windir%\system32\mmc.exe %windir%\system32\Cluadmin<wbr />.msc<br />
<br />
this is the shortcut.

Nope not there. &nbsp;Could they have changed something with this new version of Hyper-V? &nbsp;I see it is greyed out and checked with the installed next to it in the features menu, but no where on the box can I access it. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
I will uninstall Hyper-V and try to do failover clustering by iteslf and if that works I iwll put hyper-v back on to see.

This is from Windows 2012 with Failover Clustering and Hyper-V role added.<br />
<br />
you have added all the remote tools.

Yes. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
What remote tools?

<div>
you have All the normal Administrative Tools?

yeah. &nbsp;<br />

I am just thinking that failover clustering was enabled when I installed the hyper-v role. &nbsp;Unfortunately I have to install my server from scratch as I cannot remove the hyper-v role.

Come on. &nbsp;That was it. &nbsp;I dont know how I missed it but I appreciate your help

<div>
it would seem you can install the features roles, but the management tools are separate features, possibly if you were going to manage remotely, on not on the actual server.

Another way would be executing the following PowerShell command:<br />
get-windowsfeature -name rsat-clustering-cmdinterfa<wbr />ce | add-windowsfeature

Hi<br />
<br />
I am trying to run failover clustering from my hyper-v machine which has the GUI version of server 2012 and I cannot find it in the server manager. &nbsp;I do have the feature installed but nothing. <br />
<br />
any ideas?<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance

Server 2012 and Hyper-V Failover Clustering

Microsoft Virtual Server was a virtualization solution that facilitated the creation of virtual machines on the Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows Server 2003 operating systems. Virtual machines are created and managed through a web-based interface that relies on Internet Information Services (IIS) or through a Windows client application tool called VMRCplus. Features included Linux guest operating system support, Virtual Disk Precompactor, symmetric multiprocessing (SMP), x64 host operating system support, the ability to mount virtual hard drives on the host machine and additional operating systems support, including Windows Vista, and a volume shadow copy writer.

Microsoft Virtual Server

Virtualization is the act of creating a virtual (rather than actual) version of something, including (but not limited to) a virtual computer hardware platform, operating system (OS), storage device, or computer network resources. Virtualization is usually the creation of a system that executes separate from the underlying hardware resources, or the creation of an entire desktop for systems located elsewhere, similar to thin clients.

Virtualization

Windows Server 2012 is the server version of Windows 8 and the successor to Windows Server 2008 R2. Windows Server 2012 is the first version of Windows Server to have no support for Itanium-based computers since Windows NT 4.0. Windows Server 2012, now in its second release (Windows Server 2012 Release 2) includes Foundation, Essentials, Standard and Datacenter, and does not support IA-32 or IA-64 processors.

Windows Server 2012

The Microsoft Server topic includes all of the legacy versions of the operating system, including the Windows NT 3.1, NT 3.5, NT 4.0 and Windows 2000 and Windows Home Server versions.

Microsoft Server OS

Hyper-V is a native hypervisor; it can create virtual machines on x86-64 systems and supersedes Windows Virtual PC as the hardware virtualization component of the client editions of Windows NT. A server computer running Hyper-V can be configured to expose individual virtual machines to one or more networks. Hyper-V Server supports remote access via Remote Desktop Connection. Administration and configuration of the host OS and the guest virtual machines is generally done over the network.
