This example configuration is one of the most common configurations for a cluster. It is a new installation with two servers and one storage array, in an Active-Passive configuration where the active node of the cluster hosts the virtual server and the second node is a dedicated redundant server able to take over and host the virtual server in the event of a failure on the active node. The example describes a generic database application.

The example configuration does not include Dynamic Multi-Pathing.
