Microsoft Software
Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0/Enterprise Edition (Windows NTS/E) and
Microsoft Windows 2000 Advanced Server are the operating systems for the
Compaq ProLiant Clusters HA/F100 and HA/F200. The Microsoft clustering
software, Cluster Server for Windows NTS/E and Microsoft Cluster Service
for Windows 2000 Advanced Server (MSCS), provides the underlying
technology to:
■
Send and receive heartbeat signals between the cluster nodes.
■
Monitor the state of each cluster node.
■
Initiate failover and failback events.
NOTE:
MSCS will only run with Windows NTS/E. Previous versions of Windows NT are not
supported.
NOTE:
The HA/F200 only supports MSCS with Windows 2000 Advanced Server. Other
versions of Windows 2000 are not supported.
Microsoft Cluster Administrator, another component of Windows NTS/E and
Windows 2000 Advanced Server, allows you to do the following:
■
Define and modify cluster groups
■
Manually control the cluster
■
View the current state of the cluster
NOTE:
Microsoft Windows NTS/E or Microsoft Windows 2000 Advanced Server must be
purchased separately for your Compaq ProLiant Cluster, through your Microsoft reseller.
