how to create cluster

[Guest Aleks Kleyn]

Windows cluster is good idea to make sure smooth performance of server

functionality. Assume I have few servers. What I need to change in their

settings to join them in cluster. Can I put in one cluster 32 and 64 bit OS?

Is it possible to put into cluster win 2008 and windows Vista?

Add the clustering service -- it's sort of an install. Either

Server Clustering, or NLB (Network Load Balancing).

 

NLB works on all editions of Server including Web Edition.

 

Server Clustering works on server versions OTHER than

Web Edition.

I don't know but it probably works, at least in some cases, but

it will make no sense unless they run the same apps.

Vista doesn't support Microsoft clustering.

 

Google:

 

site:microsoft.com "server clusters | clustering" | NLB | "network

load balancing"

 

You can leave out either of the clustering types if you aren't

interested in those.

 

Add additional keywords or phrases to isolate your most

important interests.

Hello Aleks,

 

You can Cluster server operating system, no workstations.

 

For Server 2008 see here:

I highly recommend those "step by step" guides to anyone who doesn't

immediately (or fairly quickly) catch on to some subsystem of Windows.

 

They can be a bit tedious because they are literally STEP BY STEP

(some run to over 100 pages) but they are good when you need to

figure out the hard parts.

Re: how to create cluster

 

In addition to the other replies, you cannot mix 32-bit & 64-bit nodes.

 

The addition of a 64-bit node to a 32-bit cluster is not supported
