Introduction 5 Introduction A Dell™ F ailover Cluster combines specific hardwar e and softwar e components to provide enhanced availability for applications and services that run on your cluster .
6 Introduction Cluster Solution Y our cluster supports a minimum of tw o nodes to a maximum of either eight nodes (with W indows Server 2003 operat ing systems) or sixteen nodes (with W indows Server .
Introduction 7 Cluster Nodes T able 1-1 lists the har dware r eq uirements for the cluster nodes. T able 1-1. Cluster Node Requirements Component Minimum Requirement Cluster nodes A minimum of two iden tical P owerEdge servers are r equir ed.
8 Introduction Cluster Storage Cluster nodes can share access to e xterna l storage systems. However , only one of the nodes can own any R AID volume in the e xternal storage system at any time. Microsoft Cluster Services (MSC S) controls which node has access to each R AID volume in the shar ed storage system.

T roubleshooting 43 T roubleshooting This appendix provides troublesho oting information for your cluster configuration. T able A-1 describes general cluster pr oblems you may encounter and the probable causes and solutions for each problem. T able A-1.
44 T roubleshooting One or more nodes may have the Internet Connection F irewall enabled, blocking Remote P rocedur e Call (RPC) communications between the nodes. Configure the Internet Connection F irewall to allow communications that are r e quired by the Microsoft ® Cluster Service (MSCS) and the clustered applications or services.
T roubleshooting 45 The cluster network name is not responding on the network because the Internet Connection F irewall is enabled on one or more nodes. Configure the Internet Connection F irewall to allow communications that are requir ed by MSCS and the clustered applications or services.
46 T roubleshooting Unable to add a node to the cluster . The new node cannot access the shared disks. The shared disks ar e enumerated by the operating system differently on the cluster nodes. Ensure that the new cluster node can enumerate the cluster disks using W indows Disk Administration.
T roubleshooting 47 Cluster Services d oes not operate correctly on a cluster running W indows Server 2003 and the Internet F irewall enabled. The W indows Internet Connection F irewall is enabled, which may conflict with Cluster Services. P erform the following steps: 1 On the W indows desktop, right-click My Computer and click Manage .
48 T roubleshooting P ublic network clients cannot access the applications or services that are provided by the cluster . One or more nodes may have the Internet Connection F irewall enabled, blocking RPC communications between the nodes.
