Re: Does anyone know if MNS cluster support a Virtual Server created in ESX VMware as a node of existing MNS cluster?

From a support perspective, mixing and matching nodes where your fifth node
is a VMWare server will put your cluster outside our support boundaries.

Hello to all,

I have a MNS cluster composed with four nodes (working as a File
server). The servers are running in Windows server 2003 Enterprise
edition with SP1. I know how works MNS cluster and I know that in a
MNS cluster composed by four nodes, only one node can fail. I am
thinking the possibility to add a virtual machine installed with same
operating system created in ESX VMware to save me the cost of the
hardware that a new server. Obiusly this node won´t see any virtual
disk but will be add in the existing MNS cluster such as 5 node and at
this form, can fail two nodes in the cluster at the same time.

Could you please let me know If I can add a Virtual Server created in
ESX VMware as a existing MNS cluster? Deas snyone know if MNS cluster
support Virtual Servers such as cluster node?

Thanks in advanced

Kind Regards
Juan
