Windows 2000 Cluster Installation Consulting Services
A server cluster is a group of independent servers running Cluster service and working collectively as a single system. Server clusters provide high-availability, scalability, and manageability for resources and applications by grouping multiple servers running Windows 2000 Advanced Server or Windows 2000 Datacenter Server.
The purpose of server clusters is to preserve client access to applications and resources during failures and planned outages. If one of the servers in the cluster is unavailable due to failure or maintenance, resources and applications move to another available cluster node.

Several steps must be taken before installing the Cluster service software. These steps are:
Make sure that Windows 2000 Advanced Server or Windows 2000 Datacenter Server and the Cluster service are installed and running on one node before starting an operating system on another node. If the operating system is started on other nodes before the Cluster service is installed, configured and running on at least one node, the cluster disks will probably be corrupted.

Windows 2000 Clustering Install
In the first phase of installation, all initial cluster configuration information must be supplied so that the cluster can be created. This is accomplished using the Cluster Service Configuration Wizard. In production clustering scenarios you must use more than one private network for cluster communication to avoid having a single point of failure. Cluster service can use private networks for cluster status signals and cluster management. This provides more security than using a public network for these roles. You can also use a public network for cluster management, or you can use a mixed network for both private and public communications. In any case, make sure at least two networks are used for cluster communication, as using a single network for node-to-node communication represents a potential single point of failure. We recommend that multiple networks be used, with at least one network configured as a private link between nodes and other connections through a public network. If you have more than one private network, make sure that each uses a different subnet, as Cluster service recognizes only one network interface per subnet.
