Specifying Cluster and Cluster Host Parameters
Applies To: Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2003 R2, Windows Server 2003 with SP1, Windows Server 2003 with SP2
For each Network Load Balancing cluster, there are settings that are common to all cluster hosts and there are other settings that are unique to each cluster host. The cluster parameters define the cluster and establish cluster-wide configurations, such as the virtual IP address assigned to the cluster. The cluster host parameters define the cluster host role and identity within the cluster, such as the cluster host’s priority within the cluster or the dedicated IP address that is unique to the cluster host.
Specify the cluster and cluster host parameters by completing the following steps:
Specify the settings that are common to all cluster hosts within the same cluster.
Specify the settings that are unique to each cluster host.
