Windows Cluster
Northern Storage Suite supports Microsoft Cluster Service. It is fully cluster aware, supporting failover of cluster resources between physical nodes. Support is offered for any number of physical nodes and any combinations of active and passive roles.
When managing a Windows Cluster environment it is important to install Northern Storage Suite on all physical nodes of the cluster. After installation all configuration must be centred upon the cluster groups [virtual servers] not the physical nodes. More information is included in the Northern Storage Suite Deployment and Evaluation guides.
