SQL Server 2005 Aliases

  • Hi,

    I'd like to create do multi-instances SQL Server 2005 install on one physical server that is going to be a DR (disaster recovery) SQL server for the a few production servers.

    Is it possible to use the SQL Server 2005 Aliases in the configuration manager?

    How to configure them?

    The production SQL servers:

    Server name= Prod1; SQL instance name=SQL1 (Prod1\SQL1)

    Server name= Prod2; SQL instance name=SQL1 (Prod2\SQL1)

    Server name= Prod3; SQL instance name=SQL1 (Prod3\SQL1)

    The DR SQL Servers:

    Server name= DR1; SQL instance name=SQL1 (DR1\SQL1)

    SQL instance name=SQL2 (DR1\SQL2)

    SQL instance name=SQL3 (DR1\SQL3)

    The Prod1\SQL1 connections (calls) goes to DR1\SQL1

    The Prod2\SQL1 connections (calls) goes to DR1\SQL2

    The Prod3\SQL1 connections (calls) goes to DR1\SQL3

    Thank you for your help,

    LY

    yes, alias will work. you will have to create them on Prod1, Prod2 and Prod3.

    on Prod1, create an alias called DR1\SQL1 for instalce SQL1 (or vice vera, not sure if i got your explanation right)

    on Prod2, create an alias called DR1\SQL2 for instalce SQL2... etc.....

    I think that is your naming strategy :ermm:
