Server Clusters (Continued…) Microsoft Cluster Service First shipped with Windows NT Server Enterprise Edition (1997) Later upgraded in Windows 2000 Advanced Server and Windows Server 2003 Microsoft Cluster Service Node Resource Group Quorum resource Virtual Server Heartbeats Microsoft Cluster Service Cannot have more than two nodes Windows 2000 Server: Advanced Server: 2 nodes Datacenter Server: up to 4 nodes Support for geographically dispersed nodes Windows 2003 Server: Up to 8 nodes in both Advanced and Datacenter Support for N+I configurations and 64-bit Processors Majority Node Set MSCS deals with: Cluster membership activities Resource management (and failure handling) Application state failover Cluster management State transition diagram for cluster membership Resource Control Libraries map to different resources A resource can be: Offline Online pending Online Offline pending Failed Failed resources are recovered Microsoft SQL Server Oracle Database Server SAP R/3 Microsoft Exchange Microsoft Internet Security But not many more! Windows Vs. Other Systems Network load balancing Failover and redundancy But there is another kind of clustering . . . Windows Vs. Other Systems Currently Windows has no built-in support for this. Several different cluster models exist: Beowulf Single System Image Windows Vs. Other Systems “Beowulf Clusters are scalable performance clusters based on commodity hardware, on a private system network, with open source software (Linux) infrastructure.” / Windows Vs. Other Systems How does they work? PVM (Parallel
