Prerequisites for sql server cluster installation

  • Hi All,

    I have never set up a SQL Server cluster hence not familiar with cluster setup.

    I just want to know what are the prerequisites for installing a sql server cluster instance ?

    What are the details we need to collect from windows team ?

    I googled a bit and got the below details. Is it good to go if we have the below details ?

    1. virtual hostname

    2. virtual IP

    3. Available shared storage

    4. Service Accounts

    Can someone please brief me about the prerequisites and other details we need to keep ready before installing SQL server cluster ?

    Thanks,

    Smith.

  • Microsoft does a pretty thorough job of documenting these right here in the Books Online.
