At this point the management cluster is complete; from here, application and service clusters can be configured. Some applications like Microsoft SQL Server 2005 and Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 are not only cluster-aware applications but also allow for the creation of a server cluster as part of the standard installation wizard. Other cluster-aware applications and services can be configured into a cluster using the cluster administrator. Physical-to-Virtual Clustering The last type of clustering scenario to discuss is the physical-to-virtual clustering configuration. As you may have guessed, this involves building a cluster with two nodes where one node is a physical machine and the other node is a virtual machine. Figure 10.24 details the setup of a two-node physical-to-virtual cluster. Figure 10.24 Clustering physical machines with virtual machine counterparts can be a cost-effective way of providing high availability ...»
