NOTE: A management subnet provides for the best security and is optional, but
recommended.
• Additional Ethernet connection ports to client subnets (depending on network
options ordered)
• Windows-based PC running Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5 (or greater) on the
same network segment as the NAS E7000 management port (Eth 0); This will be
used to set up the NAS device
IMPORTANT: The RapidLaunch client and NAS E7000 must be on the same network
segment as the management port (Eth 0) or RapidLaunch will not detect the NAS E7000.
Dependencies and Requirements - NAS E7000 Cluster
The following conditions must be met in order for the NAS E7000 to operate as a
cluster.
NOTE: The following requirements are in addition to the single node requirements.
Network Participation Requirement
The NAS E7000 must be running in a Microsoft Windows NT domain or Active
Directory environment. The Windows NT domain or Active Directory provides the
device name abstraction and centralized communications required for clustering. The
workgroup deployment lacks the features required by Microsoft Clustering Services
and is not supported.
