WINS and DNS
WINS (Windows Internet Name Service) and DNS (Domain Name Service)
are supported in the Microsoft clustering software. Use WINS to register the
network names and IP addresses of cluster resources. If WINS is not used,
create an entry in the
hosts
or
lmhosts
file that lists each network name and IP
address pair, as well as the cluster name and its IP, address since these
function as virtual servers to the clients.
If clients are located on a different subnet than the cluster nodes, modify the
DNS database to add a DNS address record for the cluster.
DHCP
Only use DHCP for the clients; it should not be used for the cluster node
IP addresses or cluster resource IP addresses. DHCP cannot be used to assign
IP addresses for virtual servers.
When configuring DHCP, exclude enough static IP addresses from the pool of
dynamically leased addresses to account for the following:
■
Cluster node IP addresses
■
At least one static IP address for each virtual server
Migrating Network Clients
One of the first steps in assessing the impact of a clustered environment on the
network clients is to identify the various types of network functions and
applications that are provided to the users. It is likely that several steps are
necessary to migrate your clients to take full advantage of clustering.
File and Print Services
The main consideration for file and print services is the method clients use to
connect to the shared resources. If clients use batch files to connect to shared
directories on the server, the batch files may need to be updated to reflect the
new path name and, possibly, the new share name.
