Guidelines for Deploying High Availability with Four Servers
If you are deploying high availability in an environment with four servers, 
perform the general steps that are described in this section. Choose the method 
that suits your requirements.
Note
If servers have different hard disk sizes, use the server with smaller disks as active 
servers and use the servers with the larger disks as the standby servers.
