Servers Consolidation and Linked Servers

    Hi,

    We are planning to consolidate 5 servers in a 2-node active/active cluster.

    Some of the servers have Linked server between them.

    After the consolidation, I guess Linked server between Instances inside same Server/Cluster won't be necessary anymore, but I can't figure out how i could substitute them so that instances keep communicating.

    Any idea ?

    Thanks,

    Dok

    In other words, can we have Linked Servers between Instances inside same server, or is there a better solution ?

    The instances are functionally seperate so you will still need a Linked Server between them, even if they are part of a single cluster.

    Thanks for your answer foxxo.

    I was confused about Linked Server on Local Server, but it seems to be a good solution.

    Despite of Foxxo clarifying answer, and I'm grateful to him, other opinions would be welcomed.

    I guess it could be useful for other people that might come to similar situations.

    Thanks,

    Dok.
