DELL EMC AX4-5 ユーザーズマニュアル

Introduction

A failover cluster combines specific hardware and software components to
provide enhanced availability for applications and services that are run on the
cluster. A failover cluster is designed to reduce the possibility of any single
point of failure within the system that can cause the clustered applications or
services to become unavailable. It is recommended that you use redundant
components like server and storage power supplies, connections between the
nodes and the storage array(s), connections to client systems or other servers
in a multi-tier enterprise application architecture in your cluster.

This document provides information and specific configuration tasks that
enable you to configure your Microsoft

Windows Server

failover cluster

with Dell/EMC AX4-5F (2 Fibre Channel ports per Storage Processor) or
Dell/EMC AX4-5FX (4 Fibre Channel ports per Storage Processor) storage
array(s).

NOTE:

Dell/EMC AX4-5FX storage arrays.
