So they asked me to write for a blog. Well, I’m new here, and what can a new guy write about? The basics! But the target audience for this blog is not the faint of heart, so, let’s start with a NEW basic thing for everybody: “Creating a Cluster in Windows Server 2008â€.
First a small introduction:
Clustering is available in Windows Server® 2008 Enterprise and Windows Server® 2008 Datacenter editions. The improvements to failover clusters (formerly known as server clusters) are aimed at simplifying clusters, making them more secure, and enhancing cluster stability. Cluster setup and management are easier with the new MMC Snap-In management interface, and complexity is reduced by providing the user with a simple interface to create, manage and use their failover cluster. Setup is more straightforward, with fewer steps and less configuration. Also, Cluster setup is fully scriptable so that you can automate your deployment. Security and networking in clusters have been improved, as has the way a failover cluster communicates with storage.
