CMS cluster configuration
• Two-node clusters, consisting of two HP ProLiant servers (that is, physical servers, not virtual
machines) and attached shared storage, are supported. Each server must satisfy the hardware
and recommended requirements for Insight Management and the Microsoft Windows Server
2012 Standard, 2012 R2 Standard, or 2008 R2 Enterprise OS, including processor, memory,
networking, and disk space.
To validate servers and storage that are certified for Microsoft Windows Server 2012 or 2008
R2, see “Management servers” (page 8) and the following Microsoft website:

• HP recommends SAN shared storage, although you can use any shared storage that Microsoft
clustering supports.
• HP recommends SAN boot for the two cluster nodes.
• Each server requires two dedicated network adapters, at minimum, one for a public
(client-facing) network and another for a private cluster network. Each server requires a third
dedicated adapter if you use an iSCSI SAN.
• The SQL server must run either in the same cluster with Insight Management, or, in a remote
Windows cluster that is a member of the same Windows domain as the Insight Management
cluster.
• An Active Directory domain infrastructure and DNS services suitable for hosting the cluster
are required, but they cannot run on either of the two cluster nodes.
• The fully configured cluster must pass the Validate test in the Windows Failover Cluster
Manager.
