Hi All,
I've been tasked to investigate setting up a SQL 2008 Cluster in a VMWare enviroment. Can anyone point me to some articles discussing pros and cons. Tried GOOGLE but not getting much
Thanks

This link might be a good start. It doesn't mention SQL specifically, however it relates to setting up a Microsoft Cluster in a virtual environment. Form my understanding you would proceed with the regular SQL installation & configuration as per a physical cluster environment.

I should add I am speaking from research that I myself am doing right now, not actual implementation experience.
cheers, Mark

Hi
Check my tutorial at the following link for installing a SQL Server 2008 clustered instance under VMWare Server 2.0!

Perry - I'm in the same situation. I've installed SQL Server Clustering, but not Windows Clustering using VMWare
Great link! Thanks.

Hi Cindy
glad you found it useful. Remember that clustering is totally separate to SQL Server. SQL Server merely makes use of the technology if it is configured 😉
