Best practice for Cluster Setup

  • Hi All,

    We are planning to setup clustering. Would like to know what is the best practice for it.

    Also we are planning for the Database capacity what will be the checklist for it. What should be considered, any calculation, checklist or FAQs.

    Thank you.

    Cheers,

    Got an idea..share it !!

  • Hit your favourite search engine and search for clustering best practices on technet.microsoft.com. There are pages and pages (and I mean that quite literally) on it.

  • Setting one up myself currently, Edwin Sarmiento has a great 4 part article.

    as far as calculations you could try a linear growth

    which is just a projected amount of growth per month

    or Geometric Growth

    Future Size= current Size x (1+growth rate) ^number of periods

    (Both of these are straight from chapter 1 of the 70-443 book it is a good read with a lot of good info if you don't have it I would recommend going out and getting it.)

  • Thanks SSC Journeyman.
