Your hardware configuration must be tested for compatibility with the Cluster service. Windows Server does not display a dialog box that prompts for acceptance of the HCL or WSC agreement during the cluster configuration.
The requirements for the Cluster service do state that an HCL cluster is required. If multiple clusters are attached to the same storage area network SAN device, extra steps are required.
The nodes in the cluster must be certified with the particular SAN device. If the cluster solution includes geographically dispersed cluster nodes, additional items such as network latency and shared disk support must be verified. See the following Microsoft Knowledge Base article for details:. There may be certain contractual limitations to which you must adhere. However, PSS will offer troubleshooting tips if the customer requests them.
Before any troubleshooting begins, the customer must contact the OEM to discuss whether the particular cluster implementation is supportable. The OEM can best answer configuration and supportability questions for the cluster hardware.
Upon agreement that no solution is guaranteed, and that no incident refund will be given, PSS troubleshoots the issue. If no resolution is found, the incident is not refunded. If it is not agreed that a solution is not guaranteed, PSS will not troubleshoot the issue and will refund the incident.
Standard troubleshooting processes will be used to isolate the server cluster issue. Some typical troubleshooting methods that will be used by PSS include:.
Note If the cluster is not certified, there is no hotfix support available. PSS will be unable to determine whether the problem is caused by a hardware incompatibility or undesirable software behavior. If there is no solution to the problem, PSS may recommend some constructive alternatives, including:. The hardware specifications for server clusters are extremely stringent.
You can waste a lot of time by attempting to troubleshoot perceived server cluster issues that are being caused by the cluster hardware that you are using. Some examples of hardware incompatibilities that can cause cluster problems include:. The cluster solution does not properly isolate the shared disk and HBAs from other devices on the shared bus. The PCI bus is incorrectly configured and has incorrect adapters in the wrong bus primary, secondary, tertiary, and so on.
This list does not include all the issues that can cause problems with a server cluster. Is there a generic LAN driver that might work? I don't need high preformance for what I am doing. Tuesday, August 18, PM. Hi, Thanks for the post. Meanwhile, you may try the following method to search for the LAN driver: 1.
Wednesday, August 19, AM. For most of Nvidia chipsets NIC drivers should be in installation for chipset drivers. Did you try website of motherboard's manufacturer? Hi, I just want to check if the information provided was helpful.
Friday, August 21, AM. I did check the NVidia website but they only have what already have on a disk. I will try your suggestion and let you know. Friday, August 21, PM. The driver you referred to would install but would not work with the LAN port.
I looked at sysinfo but it did not have info on the ven and dev. Thanks for the help. Hi, Thanks for the update. See Installing the Hardware for details.
These drivers may need to be extracted to a temporary directory on your hard drive. To install the adapter software for Windows Server , do the following. When you boot up the Windows Server system after installing the network device, a series of Found New Hardware windows display. The Welcome to the Found New Hardware window then displays.
The following window appears notifying you to wait while the wizard installs the software. You must then perform a scan for hardware changes in the device manager, followed by re-installing the Broadcom device with the current adapter software as described in the " Installing the Driver Software " section.
Prior to uninstalling the Broadcom device, ensure to capture all Advanced Property settings because the parameters will be lost. To update the adapter software for Windows Server , do the following:.
The Hardware Update Wizard searches for the appropriate driver and automatically updates the software. Once installation of the driver software is complete, you are ready to modify configuration parameters. Back to Top. Although the default values should be appropriate in most cases, you may change any of the available options to meet the requirements of your specific system.
Once the adapter driver software has been installed, you can use this procedure to verify or change the following adapter properties: Click Start then select Control Panel from the pop-up menu. Double-click the System icon. Click the Hardware tab and then click Device Manager. The Device Manager window displays. Scroll down the list of hardware devices to Network Adapters.
Double-click the Gigabit Ethernet Adapter you want to configure. The Gigabit Ethernet Properties window displays, showing the General tab. The It is responsible for the QOS provisions on the local segment, and the avoidance of the "all packets are treated equally" issue, which falls onto the hub or switch servicing segment. Thus, when the local segment becomes congested and the hub or switch workload results in the delay dropping of packets, those packets with flags that correspond to higher priorities will receive perferential treatment, and will be serviced before packets with lower priorities.
Disabled by default, select Enable from the Value drop-down menu to enable this parameter.
