| I have SQL Server on a cluster, conencted to a SAN at my HQ building. They want to mirror it the Chicago HQ.The kicker is, they want to use a single server in Chicago, not a cluster. I beleive they are looking at SAN replication of some sort which will leave the files open for modification, etc. However, I don't know how SQL Server would react to that sort of thing. Would it care? Has anyone else done this?I know, it sounds a little foolish, but is this possible? |

| They don't want to do that....they want to do a block-level copy from one SAN to another. |

| I'm not sure how SQL Server would react to such a thing. What about stuff that has not been written to disk yet?? Methinks you'd need to talk to your SAN vendor and see how their SAN replication deals with SQL server.Michael<Yoda>Use the Search page you must. Find the answer you will.</Yoda> |
