Hi,

Would like to know the importance of MSDTC service in SQL Clusttering?
Under normal circumstances, i know that it is used for communication between the 2 SQL Servers.
Meaning, if we stop the MSDTC service, the Linked Servers will not work.

But incase of SQL clustter configuration, MSDTC is created as a separate Group, separate disk dive and IP address

Why is it so important to assign a separate disk and what significnce it has in Clusttering?

Thanks in Advance
