Is clustering the right solution here? |

Hi All,
Can Microsoft Cluster Services be used in an environment where the two nodes
do not share any physical hardware at all?
I have two servers. I'm using file replication software to keep the files in
sync between the two, but I want one node to always service requests, and
the second node to only be used if the first is not available.
Ordinarily I would just use NLB for this, but I also want a script to run on
the target node after a failover, and I don't know how to do that with NLB.
So, I guess my question is (1) Can MSCS do this and (2) does this make
sense, or is there another route I should take?
Thanks,
Brian |

Two nodes is not enough for Majority Node Set (MNS) clustering. 3 is the
min. NLB is the way to go and use affinity, now you use need to figure out
the script ;)
