works. Organizations using previous versions of failover clustering often had staff dedicated to installation and management of failover clusters. This significantly increased the total cost of ownership for failover cluster services. With the introduction of Windows Server 2008 failover clusters - HP Integrity rx2660 | Cluster Installation and Configuration Guide - Windows Ser - Page 12
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. Cluster Terminology A working knowledge of clustering begins with the definition of some common terms. The following terms are used - HP Integrity rx2660 | Cluster Installation and Configuration Guide - Windows Ser - Page 13
for example, that a resource depends on a Windows 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 for configuration and recovery purposes. If a resource depends on another - HP Integrity rx2660 | Cluster Installation and Configuration Guide - Windows Ser - Page 14
Majority Node Set - This type of quorum is optimal for clusters having an odd number of nodes. In this configuration, only the nodes have votes. The shared storage does not have a vote. A a third site, making this type of quorum the best solution for geographically dispersed clusters 14 Introduction - HP Integrity rx2660 | Cluster Installation and Configuration Guide - Windows Ser - Page 15
loss of any one vote. Figure 1-4 Node and Disk Majority example The concept of quorum in Windows Server 2008 moves away from the requirement for a shared storage resource. The concept of quorum now refers to a number of votes which must equate to a majority of nodes. All nodes and disk resources get - HP Integrity rx2660 | Cluster Installation and Configuration Guide - Windows Ser - Page 16
disk-based vote. The Node and File Share Majority model is an excellent solution for configuration, and network connection status. When heartbeat messages are not received among the other nodes as expected, the cluster service interprets this as node failure, and a failover begins.
