12. Configure highly-available applications and services on your Failover Cluster. Depending on your configuration, this
may also require providing additional volumes to the cluster or creating new cluster resource groups. Test the
failover capabilities of the new resources.
13. Configure client systems to access the highly-available applications and services that are hosted on your Failover
Cluster.
Installation Overview
Each cluster node in the Failover Cluster must have the same release, edition, service pack, and processor architecture
of the Windows Server operating system installed. For example, all nodes in your cluster may be configured with the
Windows Server 2003 R2, Enterprise x64 Edition operating system. If the operating system varies among nodes, it may
not be possible to configure a Failover Cluster successfully. It is recommended that you establish server roles prior to
configuring a Failover Cluster, depending on the operating system configured on your cluster.
