Clustered Server Elements
Select storage servers support clustering. The HP ProLiant Storage Server
supports several
fi
le-sharing protocols, including DFS, NFS, FTP, HTTP,
and Microsoft SMB. Only NFS, FTP, and Microsoft SMB are cluster-aware
protocols. HTTP can be installed on each node but the protocols cannot be
set up through cluster administrator, nor will they failover during a node
failure.
CAUTION:
AppleTalk shares should not be created on clustered resources as this is
not supported by Microsoft Clustering, and data loss may occur.
Network names and IP address resources for the clustered
fi
le share
resource can also be established for access across a network to a variety
of clients. Permissions can then be granted to those shares based on users
or groups of users in each of the
fi
le sharing protocols.
If your storage server model supports clustering, see the
HP ProLiant
Storage Server Administration Guide
for complete details on cluster setup.
