This section explains points to keep in mind when setting up a Resource Coordinator VE environment:
The maximum of managed servers can be registered in Resource Coordinator VE is limited, and depends on the Resource Coordinator VE license purchased.
For details on the limit of managed servers, refer to license documentation.
An error will occur when trying to register more managed servers than the above limit. This limit includes the spare servers used by recovery settings. However, it does not include VM guests.
A specific license is required to enable a cluster configuration for the admin server.
For details of admin server redundancy, refer to "Appendix B Manager Cluster Operation Settings and Deletion" in the "ServerView Resource Coordinator VE Installation Guide".
Clustering software can be used on managed servers.
However, Resource Coordinator VE does not support server switchover or server replacement based on backup and restore for cluster-enabled servers.
Use of the Windows Server 2008 BitLocker drive encryption function (Windows BitLocker Drive Encryption) is not supported.
If the admin server or managed servers are running under Windows Server 2008, do not encrypt the system disk using the BitLocker drive encryption function.
When installing an operating system on a PRIMERGY Partition Model, use legacy boot.
