Configuring cluster workload options

Once the Failover Cluster has been configured according to the architectural requirements for a business or customer, the intended workload(s) as part of the cluster design must then be configured and loaded onto the cluster for proper workload handling. Each Failover Cluster is different based on the workload’s characteristics, which means that the possibilities are endless for the design and architecture of a Failover Cluster.

A list of the clustered roles that you can configure with high availability on a Windows Server Failover Cluster are as follows:

  • Generic Application
  • Generic Script
  • Generic Service
  • Namespace Server
  • DFS Namespace Server
  • Distributed Transaction Coordinator (DTC)
  • File Server
  • Hyper-V Replica Broker
  • iSCSI Target Server
  • iSNS Server
  • Message Queuing
  • Other Server
  • Virtual Machine
  • WINS Server
