Cloverleaf 6.0 running on Windows Server 2008

[Robert Denny]

Anyone have experience with running Cloverleaf 6.0 on Windows Server 2008 in an HA cluster? And/or VM architechture?

Our Management staff has asked that we do some research about running the newest version of Cloverleaf on a Windows environment and on Virtual servers.

We run one of our production sites on CL 6.0 on a 2-node Win2008 cluster. If all goes well, the other production site, which runs on another cluster, will be on CL 6.0 and Win2008 tonight. I know of no issues specifically related to running CL 6.0 on a Win2008 cluster. The clustering aspect of it works as well as CL 5.8.x worked on a Win2003 cluster. The way we have the clustering set up, it is active/inactive. That is, only one node in the cluster at a time is attached to the SAN and servicing interfaces.

We run our test sites on a single VMWare virtual server. It is running CL 6.0 on Win2008. I know of no issues specifically related to this being on VMWare.

We have no sites that are both clustered and virtual.

Thank you for the information Bill. Hope everything goes well for you folks tonight.

We are running CL on Windows 2008 R2 in a virtual environment with no ill effects. Have been running our production environment with this setup for a couple of months as we continue to move from a physical server running CL 5.5 to 6.0.

Installing the 6.0.2 patch soon but we have had no issues.

HTH.
