SUMMARY
The Microsoft Hardware Compatibility List (HCL) has been replaced by the Microsoft Windows Catalog as the premier location for locating Cluster Server hardware qualification data for Microsoft Windows 2000 and for Microsoft Windows Server 2003. All the Windows Server 2003 listings and the latest Windows 2000 listings are in the Windows Catalog. The remaining Windows 2000 listings are still on the Microsoft Hardware Compatibility List (HCL).
To see the most current
Windows Server Catalog, visit the following Microsoft Web site:
When you search this site for a list of hardware that is qualified
for Microsoft Server Cluster Solutions (MSCS), you must follow these steps:
1.
On the Windows Server Catalog Web site, click the
Hardware tab.
2.
At the top of the left column under Browse
Hardware, point to Cluster Solutions.
3.
Depending on the type of cluster you are considering, click
one of the following solutions:
•
Cluster Solution
•
Geographically Dispersed Cluster
Solution
The Cluster Solutions and
Geographically Dispersed Cluster Solution categories display
only complete cluster solutions that have been qualified. Microsoft Product
Support Services fully supports only clusters that are complete solutions that
are listed in the Cluster Solution category or in the
Geographically Dispersed Cluster Solution category on the
Windows Catalog.
The Windows Catalog lists supported solutions alphabetically
by Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM). Hardware that is qualified for the
64-bit version of Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition is listed
first, followed by hardware for the 32-bit version of the operating system.
When the user clicks on a particular solution, a page opens
identifying the supported operating systems and the product details. A Windows
Logo decal identifies the specific version of the operating system that is
supported.
•
For cluster solutions where multiple products from an OEM
are qualified, the Product Details section lists all
components that were included in the OEM certification configuration. The
following paragraph is at the very top of each page:
The following products have been approved for use together in a Microsoft Cluster Solution.
NoteAll software and hardware versions must be identical to the ones
in this list, to be fully supported by Microsoft.
Contact your
selected hardware vendors for interoperability and support information before
you deploy any cluster solution.
The "Number of Nodes Tested"
indicates the maximum number of nodes where the Server cluster was tested. Any
combination of servers (including identical servers) from the Server
Details section up to the number of nodes that are tested is
considered a qualified server cluster configuration to be used with the listed
RAID Storage and Storage Adapters only.
•
For cluster solutions where individual OEM products are
qualified, the Product Details section lists the components
that were included in the OEM certification configuration. The following
paragraph is at the very top of each page:
The following products have been approved for use together in a Microsoft Cluster Solution. Note: Click here to see what software and hardware versions must be
identical to the ones in this list to be fully supported by Microsoft. Check
with your selected hardware vendors for interoperability information before
deploying any cluster solution.
Note The word "here" in this paragraph is a link to additional details
about each solution. When you click the link, a pop-up window will open. This
pop-up window provides specific information for each component in the Qualified
Cluster Solution, detailing whether the exact version that is listed must match
or not.
The current version of the Windows Server Catalog has the
following limitations:
•
A search engine is provided that will allow the catalog to
be searched by product name, manufacturer name, or both. The search engine does
not support the use of Boolean search operators such as "and," "or," and other
operators.
•
Note Components that are listed in this category have passed Cluster
Component Candidate testing. However, the component or the components do not qualify for Microsoft Cluster support services unless the
component or the components are a component of a qualified solution that is listed in the Windows
Server Catalog.
•
Continue to use the HCL Web site if you experience
problems when you use the Windows Server Catalog.
