in addition to the way a failover cluster communicates with its storage systems. NOTE: Throughout this document, "Windows Server 2008" refers to both the "Windows Server 2008 with Service Pack 2 (SP2)" and "Windows Server 2008 R2" versions of the operating system, unless specifically noted otherwise - HP Integrity BL870c | Cluster Installation and Configuration Guide - Windows Ser - Page 12
failover clustering. Instead, configuration is task based. You are asked if you want to create a highly available file server, Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server, Windows Internet Name Service (WINS) server, or other type of server and then the wizard walks you through the process - HP Integrity BL870c | Cluster Installation and Configuration Guide - Windows Ser - Page 13
Server 2008 service; the resource can only be dependent on a resource representing that service. Services and Applications Services and applications are managed as single units node set models. In Windows Server 2008 failover clustering there are now four ways to establish a quorum. The following - HP Integrity BL870c | Cluster Installation and Configuration Guide - Windows Ser - Page 14
reach a quorum - the file share has no special requirements - the file share should be located at a third site, making this type of quorum the best solution for geographically dispersed clusters 14 Introduction - HP Integrity BL870c | Cluster Installation and Configuration Guide - Windows Ser - Page 15
requires three or more nodes and there is no dependence on witness-disk availability. The disadvantage of this model is that you cannot run two server clusters, because a majority of nodes is not possible in a two-node cluster scenario. The Node and File Share Majority and the Node and Disk Majority - HP Integrity BL870c | Cluster Installation and Configuration Guide - Windows Ser - Page 16
clients on the network under a unique server name. Because these groups appear as individual servers to clients, they are called virtual servers. Users access applications or services on a virtual server the same way they access applications or services on a physical server.
