A series of courses in Windows Network Services Architecture (v) Deployment scenarios for a DHCP server cluster

Experimental background:

In routing switching, the technology of load balancing and redundant backup has been contacted by many, for example, using PVST technology to achieve load balancing and reliability of each VLAN on layer three switch, and the load balancing and reliability of client gateway implemented by HSRP Using TCP load in NAT to achieve load balancing of multiple Web servers. In Windows we use DFS Replication to implement a redundant backup of shared folders, and a BDC to implement redundant backups of DCs. However, in the enterprise internal network, how to protect the DHCP, MS SOL server, exchanger server, and other servers (server and user is an interactive process, that is, the data on the server with the user's request or change the dynamic process of change, and the role of Network Load Balancing clusters in relation to users is to provide user content only, do not require user changes, such as Ftp,web,isa,vpn, and so on load balancing and reliability? This requires Windows Server cluster technology to be resolved.

A Windows service cluster is a group of independent computer systems (called nodes, up to 8 nodes), with different nodes working together, but storing data on one quorum disk, but only 2 versions of Windows Server 2003 system support (Enterprise Edition and Datacenter Edition)

Windows cluster mode has a single node cluster for development and test platforms; a single quorum device cluster for high-availability applications on cluster storage devices; Most node clusters, primarily for geographically dispersed server clusters. This experiment adopts single quorum cluster mode.

Experimental purposes:

1. Mastering the method of simulating the arbitration disk on the virtual machine and setting up the experimental environment

2. Understand how to build a DHCP server

3, Master the construction method of server cluster

4, use the DHCP server to verify the functionality of the server cluster
