You will still need a valid shared disk resource to have a functional
"single node" cluster. There's no way around this in Windows 2000.
Someone might want to build a single node cluster simply to give
applications the ability to restart. It's more hassle than it's worth, in my
opinion, as you could achieve the same results using the services.msc
applet.
