    Hi!

    Here i am again, long time from the last time i was here. .

    I've a question for the community. i've been asked about depolying an active/active sql server 2000 cluster in the enterprise environment. Can't remember clearly, but i think that configuration was not recommended by Microsoft. The thing is ¿am i right?...

    Best regards!.

    I have never heard of microsoft not recommending this option. You just need to be sure each individual node is capable of supporting both instances should it become necessary. (particularily with regard to memory)

    I would say this is a better option than active/passive in that both servers are being actively put to use, downside is it is a bit more of an overhead to administer.

    You have to check on licensing. Active/Active needs one. "A passive server does not need a license if the number of processors in the passive server is equal to or less than the number of processors in the active server. " This is a quote from Microsoft website:
