SQL SERVER 2008 FAILOVER CLUSTERING

  • hi folks,

    We have planned for a two node fail over cluster where each nodes should have a instance of sql server 2008 running but with different database on each. Now I have Installed SQL Server on node1 by selecting the option "Sql Server 2008 failover cluster Installation" and on the second node node2 I have done "Add a node to sql server fail over cluster"

    Now, On the second node node2. I am planning to do a full SQL Server Failover Cluster Installation ("Install sql server failover cluster Installation ") and then add node to it on the frst one (node1). ("add a node to the sql server failover cluster")

    Is this right way to do?

    each node have enough cluster resources.

    each node have enough cluster resources.

    So you are setting up an active-active cluster configuration where each node acts as the failover node for the other node.

    Looks OK to me...

    That is correct, its also a good idea to slipstream service pack 1 and save a bit of install time 😉
