Is the redundant method available that uses the same IP address with different MAC addresses including the Windows Server Failover Cluster?

(:Last updated）

We have confirmed that Windows Server Failover Cluster works under our verification environment.

As of July 2019, we have confirmed the operation with the next version.
- Windows Server 2012 R2​
- Windows Server 2016​

* Since the DAD function is disabled in the official image template of the virtual server, please follow the procedure below when using a failover cluster with a virtual server.

1. Input "regedt32" in search box on Start menu and enter.
2. Click "HKEYLOCAL MACHINE" in Registry Editor.
3. Click "System" -> "CurrentControlSet" -> "Services" -> "TcpIp" -> "Parameters".
4. Right-click "Parameters" and click "New" -> "DWORD(32-bit)Value".
5. Delete "New Value #1", right-click "ArpRetryCount" and click "Delete".
6. Reboot the virtual server.

  • License activation fails on the virtual server created from Windows Server Official Image Template.ECL2.0, OS, Virtual Server / Operation, Specification

    There is a possibility that connectivity to the license server provided by NTT Com may not be established.
    Follow the steps below to ensure connectivity to the license server.

    Tutorial - Activate your OS License

    Reference：Service Descriptions - Windows Server - Conditions for Usage with Other Services

    In order to implement OS license authentication, a common function gateway is required. When using Windows Server, please make sure to apply common function gateway.
    Also, if the common function gateway is removed, OS license authentication will be lost. Therefore, please be careful not to remove the common function gateway from the Windows Server that you are using.

  • How to check whether the virtual server (RHEL) license activation is done or not?ECL2.0, OS, Virtual Server / Specification

    Regarding the authentication method of the virtual server (RHEL) created from the official image template in Enterprise Cloud 2.0, Red Hat Update Infrastructure (RHUI) is adopted instead of the license authentication method using subscription (RHN).

    Therefore, there is no problem even if valid subscriptions are not displayed or registered in the execution results such as [subscription - manager list - available].
    In addition, it is not necessary for customers to register their subscriptions.

    If you are connected to a common function gateway and you can connect to the Internet, yum and license authentication can be executed.

    Regarding verification of license authentication, if [yum repolist all] command etc. can be executed normally, it can be confirmed that license authentication is completed.
