Host-based clustering

This topic describes the cluster applications that you can run on SAN File System clients.

SAN File System works with clients that are in a clustered environment; however SAN File System is independent and not aware of any host-based clustering. SAN File System data volumes are owned and managed by SAN File System and must not be assigned as resources to the local operating system or cluster manager. Because cluster managers write on the volumes, configure the volumes as raw, unmanaged volumes to each member of the host-based cluster.

With SAN File System, you can use these clustering applications on the client machines:
Restriction: You cannot use Microsoft® clustering on Windows® 2000 and Windows 2003 platforms at this time.
