| to use microsoft cluster service (MSCS) you need to use either Windows 2000 Advanced or Datacenter editions or Windows 2003 Enterprise or Datacenter editions for the OS of your cluster nodes. At this point, win2k3 is the preferred OS for clustering as it has several very useful enhancements.For the SQL Server piece, you need to run SQL Server Enterprise edition, or developer edition if you are just testing things out.The cluster software you are talking about is an OS component that can be installed using the above mentioned OSes. Keep in mind that you will also need some form of shared storage between the two systems (fibre channel, shared scsi, etc.) the two hardware systems should also be identical.Are you setting up a production environment or is the is sandbox/test environment?-ec |
