I posted this a few days ago and got no answer. Probably this is a better place to ask.

I am in the process of setting up server clusters on Win2K adv server. I'd like to get the hardware for it.

I'd like to know what hardware do you use ...

what SCSI card, What HD, what NIC ?

Is everything replicated automatically across the cluster? including server configs and files?

Any inputs appreciated

not all of us has tons of money to play with...

i have 4 server getting ready for it but i'm currently testing it... won't be putting it in my production server any time soon..

i used legato's cluster before, and it was pretty tricky.. need a lot of hd space + 2 nic card for the fail over... how much $ do you have ?

forcesho, it is actually gonna be for my company. I wouldn't say that $$ is unlimitted but I am planning to build a cluster on my own instead of purchasing servers that are capable of clustering.

I'd like to know what kind of hardware to use? I am pretty sure mobo, CPU and memory doesn't play a big part in cluster hardware.

However what kind of SCSI adapter is supported for Win2k Cluster and what hard drive? Can I use 2 generic NIC like linksys ?

What kind of hardware do you have on your 4 servers?

Thanks for the input :)
