  • you can use Windows 2003 EE also.

    2 nics are also required. 1 for heartbeat, one for local network.

    the heartbeat must be on the same subnet.....

    hardware should be compatible too - microsoft have a catalogue for compatible hardware.

    Microsoft no longer maintain a catalogue for Windows 2008

    Windows Server 2008 Cluster solutions will not be listed in the Windows Server Catalog.

    These are the only requirements for support.

    • hardware and software components must meet the qualifications to receive a “Certified for Windows Server 2008” logo.

    • The fully configured solution must pass the Validate test in the Failover Clusters Management snap-in.
