Dell solutions engineers validated SQL Server 2022 on two types of operating systems:
The first setup of SQL Server 2022 runs on a VMware High Availability cluster using Windows virtual machines and vVols. The second setup uses Red Hat OpenShift as the container orchestration tool for Red Hat Enterprise Linux SQL Server containers.
There were three SQL Server 2022 instances running with Always-On high availability configuration for the Windows environment solution. The availability group was also configured for the three SQL Server instances. In addition, Windows 2022 Failover clustering and VMware vSphere HA were also configured. This setup provides the highest availability for SQL Server 2022 instances in a virtualized environment.
In the OpenShift setup, there was one pod configured for SQL Server 2022 with a persistent volume that used the Dell PowerStore CSI plug-in. This setup enables ease of management for SQL Server 2022 pods in the OpenShift cluster.
