Cluster Administration Protocol Planning The NAS 4000s and 9000s both support many file sharing protocols, including sharing protocols for Windows, UNIX, Linux, Novell, Macintosh, Web, and FTP clients. However, not all of these protocols can take advantage of clustering. If a protocol does not support clustering, the share will not be available to the clients until the owner cluster node is brought back online. HP recommends placing cluster aware and non cluster aware protocols on different file shares. Use the information in Table 13 to determine whether it is advantageous to use clustering. Table 13: Sharing Protocol Cluster Support Protocol CIFS/SMB NFS HTTP FTP NCP AppleTalk Client Variant Windows NT Windows 2000 Windows 95 Windows 98 Windows ME UNIX Linux Web Many Novell Apple Cluster Aware (supports failover) Yes Supported Yes Yes Yes No Yes Yes Yes No Yes No No Note: AppleTalk is not supported on clustered disk resources. AppleTalk requires local memory for volume indexing. On failover events, the memory map is lost and data corruption can occur. NAS 4000s and 9000s Administration Guide 205
