Cluster Failover for File servers with hundreds of mount points
We have an application that wants to convert their Imaging file servers to clusters for higher availability. These file servers can have a few hundred mount points and they are concerned with the ability of windows cluster to failover that type of environment. It is difficult for them to test as they wanted huge amounts of SAN space to creat a test scenario. We are unsure if the amount of data is the issue or the large number of mount points is the issue..are others doing this successfully?

If the problem is a large number of file shares, these can be grouped and efficiently managed as a single file share resource - see http://technet2.microsoft.com/windowsserver/en/library/70fd2cea-409d-4691-bd3d-25787a1120e61033.mspx?mfr=true.

if yes, then you can group Diff mount points according to the the application requirements in one disk group and in one service group. The only thing matters for failover is the large no of resources in a service group accordingly takes more time to take failover.
