Do I need SCSI to configure a cluster?

[Guest]

Hi
I need to know if I need a scsi hard drive to configure 2 windows 2000 advance servers in cluster, or can I configure the cluster even if the 2 servers have only IDE hard drives
I am asking because I never configured cluster before and all the documentation I could find says that you need scsi to configure 2 servers in cluster
Thanks in advance
Japa

SCSI or fibre connected disk storage for the shared array. Never heard
of using IDE for this. Also, if you intend to ask Microsoft to support
these clusters, be sure the configurations are in the HCL
(www.microsoft.com/hcl).

I've done it using a pair of SCSI host adapters, an external disk box and
scsi drives in the box. Just no redundancy, good and cheap for testing
though.
