|
||
|
|
<p>Windows cluster service links individual servers so they can perform common
|
||
|
|
tasks. Should any one server stop functioning, a process called failover automatically
|
||
|
|
shifts its workload to another server to provide continuous service. In addition
|
||
|
|
to failover, some forms of clustering also employ load balancing, which enables
|
||
|
|
the computational workload to be distributed across a network of linked computers.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Windows 2000 Advanced Server supports a two-node cluster while Windows
|
||
|
|
Server 2003 Enterprise Edition supports eight-node clusters. Datacenter versions
|
||
|
|
of Windows are not supported.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Windows Cluster Service support is supported for integrated Windows servers
|
||
|
|
running either Windows 2000 Advanced Server or Windows Server 2003 Enterprise
|
||
|
|
Edition.</p>

<p>Although the traditional Windows clustered server solution requires a shared
|
||
|
|
physical SCSI or Fibre Channel device, the integrated Windows server solution
|
||
|
|
uses a virtual Fibre Channel bus to share the virtual disk devices between
|
||
|
|
the nodes of a cluster.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>In addition, the new support for virtual Ethernet enables high-performance,
|
||
|
|
secure communication for the internal node-to-node communication between clustered
|
||
|
|
nodes.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Detailed checklists for planning and creating a server cluster are available
|
||
|
|
in the online Microsoft® help for Server clusters and should be referred
|
||
|
|
to prior to installing and configuring a Windows Cluster server. Additional
|
||
|
|
information, including step-by-step guides to installing Cluster service,
|
||
|
|
is available on the <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/">Microsoft Web site</a>
