NOTES: Both nodes must be configured with identical operating systems and service packs, similar drivers (network interface controllers [NICs], Fibre Channel host bus adapter [HBAs], and so on), utilities (Dell OpenManage™ system management soft- ware, and so on), and Fibre Channel HBA basic input/output system (BIOS).

Heterogeneous server clusters (mixed server models) are not supported with PowerEdge Cluster FE200/FL200 configurations running Windows NT 4.0.

Both optical and copper HBA connectors are supported in a storage area network (SAN)-attached and SAN appliance-attached configuration. Copper HBA connectors are supported in a direct-attached configuration.

Support for QLogic HBAs on Windows NT

Table 1-1 lists the QLogic HBAs and the PowerEdge servers on which they are sup- ported for Windows NT cluster configurations. Table 1-2 lists the QLogic HBAs and the PowerEdge servers on which they are supported for Windows NT FE200/FL200 cluster configurations. For PCI slot recommendations, see the section for your server model on adding peripherals required for cluster nodes, found later in this document.
