This section explains how to customize Windows version MSCS or WSFC.
The primary node is an active node in a cluster service (userApplication) performing Managed Server transactions, and the secondary node is the standby node in the same group.
The secondary node A shows the node which creates the environment of Managed Server transactions first in the secondary nodes in this cluster group. The secondary node B shows the remaining secondary nodes in this cluster group.
The customizing work of a primary node and a secondary node A is executed as a 1:1 standby system, a mutual standby system, and a n:1 standby system.
The customizing work of a primary node, a secondary node A, and a secondary node B is executed as a cascade topology system.
Example
When creating a cascade with three sets of nodes, one set is a primary node, one set is the secondary node A, and one set is the secondary node B.
When creating a cascade with four sets of nodes, one set is a primary node, one set is the secondary node A, and the two other sets are the secondary node B.
Note
In any of the following cases, refer to "Firewall setting (Windows environment only)" in the ETERNUS SF Installation and Setup Guide to set the firewall function:
When Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 is applied
Windows Server 2003 R2
Windows Server 2008 or later
