Hi,
I read in an article that SCSI is not supported in a Windows 2000 Datacenter
Server cluster. What about Advanced Server?
Thanks in advance,
Leila

SCSI is supported in Windows 2000 Advanced Server clustering, but the
particular device must be on the HCL. Due to SCSI technical limitations,
there can only be two nodes in a SCSI-based cluster.

Not to be a pain, but why would you deploy a 6 year old operating system in
a highly available configuration when newer and better software is
available?
