Network Interface Card
At least 2 NICS as listed below are needed for shared disk environment.
...
Each node in a cluster should have at least one IP address for every NIC to be used by MCCS. Virtual IP addresses which is switchable between nodes which communicate to clients also should be reserved.
(The number of virtual IP address can be variable according to the clients' needs.)
When you reserve virtual IP addresses, this must be on the same subnet as the real IP address of the NIC of node.
For example, if the real IP address of the NIC is 10.10.10.10/255.255.255.0, virtual IP addresses that MCCS uses on that NIC must be in the form 10.10.10.x/255.255.255.0 where x is any unassigned number from 1 to 254.

- Supports SAN, DAS, iSCSI.
SCSI Reservation Disk
- It supports the Supports shared storage that supports SCSI3-PR that is a kind of SAN protocols. SCSI 3- SCSI among SAN protocols.
- Virtual environments(VMware) have the following limitations:
- Support only for RDM devices.
- Must operate on an isolated ESXi server.
- Not supported for VMDK storage.
User defined program
MCCS detects not only the physical resources but also the user defined program listed below.
...
When failure occurred in a group, MCCS will online the service resources on the standby which runs the same resources on the active. Users need to add the user program mentioned above to manage by MCCS.
Please refer to "Chapter 7. Resource of MCCS User GuideManual" for more details about adding a resource.
Before adding a resource, user should decide what kind of service of resource and read the following in advance and these attributes will be set.
- Process Service
- folder where program of Process is registered
- program name of '.exe' extension
- name and password of the account that execute '.exe'.
- Domain name in case of domain environment
- WORKGROUP in case of general environment
- Application Service
- Folder location of batch files of the program to register Application.
(Please refer to "Add and Delete Resource 7.4 Applications of MCCS User GuideManual" for more details.) - Name and password of the account to execute application
- Domain for domain environment
- WORKGROUP for general environment
- Folder location of batch files of the program to register Application.
- Window Service
- Change the start type of service to 'Manual' in Windows Service Management.
- Service name that was registered in Windows Service Management.
