Andrew writes "I currently have an SQL7 sp3 cluster running under NT4 sp6 which I need to put full text indexing onto against approx 4 tables (i.e. about 5% of the database).

I have seen the MS declaration of 'It dosnt work with clustering', but as I am willing to live with a degree of toil in order to get the project in within budget, and as I have seen that there is 'an unofficial workaround', can anyone tell me what it is?

if the problem is just 'after failover you will have to ... ' in order to get it up again in the failed over system, then that is not really a problem.

Any ideas

(You do say you like the difficult questions, I hope this one is nice and easy for you though... sorry)"

MSSearch is not cluster aware in 7.0. I don't know of any workaround to that. I believe your catalogs would become corrupted upon failover, but I'm not sure. If you did get it to work, it would be an unsupported configuration.
