Log shipping in clustered SQL Server 2005

  • hi,

    I would like to setup log shipping in a clustered sql server 2005. Configuring log shipping is same for clustered and non-clustered sql server 2005 or there any differences and special steps to consider?

    Thanks

  • There is one difference that I remember. The definition of the network namefor the location to copy the backup files on the secondary server should be added as a resource in the cluster. If you won’t define it as a resource in case of failover the log shipping will not work.

  • Adi is correct. define the location where the log backups will be held as a share and define that share as a resource in cluster administrator.

  • Also be sure that the share is in the logshipping group in the cluster and that it has a dependency on the disks of the group so that it will failover with the group in the event of a problem.

    Are you logshipping as due to DR or data safety concerns?
