MSCS Hardware Requirements

To deploy CA ARCserve Backup on a MSCS cluster, your system must meet the following hardware requirements:

• All cluster nodes should have identical hardware configurations (SCSI adapters, Fiber Adapters, RAID Adapters, network adapters, disk drives, for example).
• You should use separate SCSI/Fiber adapters for disk and tape devices.

  Note: You should ensure that the hardware for all nodes is similar, if not identical, to make configuration easier and eliminate any potential compatibility problems.
