For a failover cluster in Windows Server 2008 or Windows Server 2008 R2 to be considered an officially supported solution by Microsoft Customer Support Services (CSS), the solution must meet the following criteria. All hardware and software components must meet the qualifications for the appropriate logo. For Windows Server 2008, this is the “Certified for Windows Server 2008” logo. For Windows Server 2008 R2, this is the “Certified for Windows Server 2008 R2” logo. For more information about the Logo Programs, see the Microsoft Web site at: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=111561 The fully configured solution (servers, network, and storage) must pass all tests in the validation wizard, which is part of the failover cluster snap-in. The Microsoft support policy is also described in Knowledge Base article 943984, “The Microsoft Support Policy for Windows Server 2008 Failover Clusters” on the Microsoft Web site at: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?
