install ANalysis server on 2014 cluster

  • New job, newday 100 things to do, so Per request installed simple sql server 2014 active/passive cluster on new physical box and SAN. Now this group wants to instances of Analysis Services on same cluster (one mdx other tabular). I know I will need separate disk resources for these installs. AM I correct in I should add them as named instances so I don't need a new network IP just the new names for each instance?

  • each named instance will require a Client Access Point, which contains a unique network name and IP Address

  • but it is possible to install on a current sql 2014 Active/Passive cluster? So If they want both a Multi Dimenstional and Tabular nodes, will need to get two network IP's?

    Thanks

  • you can install extra clustered instances onto the existing cluster, whether or not the hardware can support the new resources will need to be closely looked at.

  • Honestly the sql 2008 active passive cluster had stand alone instances of SSAS Multi and tabular. With 2014 you can indeed have 3 clusters on this physical beast (can't do Multi and Tabular on same) but I am opting for adding one SSAS Multi to existing cluster and then the other cluster would be the SSAS tabular. The only real goal of the active/passive cluster they built was for physical failover not based upon architectural needs
