Data Center High Availability Clusters Design Guide
Overview This paper describes how to design and deploy High Availability (HA) clusters to provide uninterrupted access to data, even if a server loses network or storage connectivity, or fails completely, or if the application running on the server fails. Clusters define a collection of servers that operate as if they were a single machine. The primary purpose of HA clusters is to provide uninterrupted access to data, even if a server loses network or storage connectivity, or fails completely, or if the application running on the server fails. HA clusters are mainly used for e-mail and database servers, and for file sharing. In their most basic implementation, HA clusters consist of two server machines (referred to as "nodes") that "share" common storage.
