PowerEdge Cluster FE100/FL100 Heterogeneous
Configurations
Your PowerEdge Cluster FE100/FL100 system supports the following PowerEdge
servers as cluster nodes in heterogeneous pairs (mixed server models) with
Windows NT 4.0, Enterprise Edition:
• PowerEdge 2400-4300
• PowerEdge 2450-4350
• PowerEdge 4400-2400
• PowerEdge 4400-4300
• PowerEdge 6300-4300
• PowerEdge 6300-6100
• PowerEdge 6350-4350
• PowerEdge 6400-4400
• PowerEdge 6400-6300
• PowerEdge 6450-6350
• PowerEdge 8450-6350
• PowerEdge 8450-6450
NOTES: Both nodes must be configured with identical operating systems and service
packs, similar drivers (network interface controllers [NICs], Fibre Channel host bus
adapter [HBAs], and so on), utilities (Dell OpenManage™ system management soft-
ware, and so on), and Fibre Channel HBA basic input/output system (BIOS).
Heterogeneous server clusters (mixed server models) are not supported with
PowerEdge Cluster FE200/FL200 configurations running Windows NT 4.0.
Both optical and copper HBA connectors are supported in a storage area network
(SAN)-attached and SAN appliance-attached configuration. Copper HBA connectors
are supported in a direct-attached configuration.
Support for QLogic HBAs on Windows NT
Table 1-1 lists the QLogic HBAs and the PowerEdge servers on which they are sup-
ported for Windows NT cluster configurations. Table 1-2 lists the QLogic HBAs and
the PowerEdge servers on which they are supported for Windows NT FE200/FL200
cluster configurations. For PCI slot recommendations, see the section for your server
model on adding peripherals required for cluster nodes, found later in this document.
