Installing and Configuring a Failover Cluster

You can configure the operating system services on your Dell Windows Server failover cluster, after you have established the private and public networks and have assigned the shared disks from the storage array to the cluster nodes. The procedures for configuring the failover cluster are different depending on the Windows Server operating system you use.

For more information on deploying your cluster with Windows Server 2003 operating systems, see the Dell Failover Clusters with Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Installation and Troubleshooting Guide. For more information on deploying your cluster with Windows Server 2008 operating systems, see the Dell Failover Clusters with Microsoft Windows Server 2008 Installation and Troubleshooting Guide.
