Clustering virtual name and IP

    Hi all

    If I am wanting to create a cluster for SQL and MSDTC do I have to have in AD the Network names and IPs of both SQL and MSTDC, or is this something that is created during the creation of the cluster?

    Thanks

    If the cluster service account has the rights to add computer name in the DC then it'll be added during the install (or when you create the cluster ressource for MSDTC).

    If the domain admin don't want you to add it yourself then you'll have to ask them to create the it first.

    For the IPs you'll need to have both before starting.

    Sorry can I just clarify this.

    I will be needing 2 resource groups. One containing a SQL and MSDTC install, and one containing SQL, SSAS and MSDTC.

    I will therefore need 2 SQL names and 2 MSDTC names. Are you saying that as I perform the installs each of the names will be created as long as the account has access to AD and will map it to the IPs (which as you said need to be created first)?

    Thanks

    Yep, the cluster service (or sql install) will try to create the names if they don't already exists.
