Steps to be performed after building the Single node cluster on Windows 2008

  • Steps to be performed after building the Single node cluster on Windows 2008

    Hi,

    Could you provide me the Steps to be performed after building the Single node cluster on Windows 2008 and before installing SQL Server 2008?

    Do we need to create MSDTC & Quorum before installing SQL Server or After installing SQL Server 2008? Or

    Do we need create MSDTC after adding the 2nd node to the existing single node cluster?

    How exactly the order is?

    Thanks

  • quorum will be present as part of the cluster deployment.

    Create a DTC clustered application first and then install SQL server

    Could you please provide me the screen shot where the SQL Server 2008 installation gives the option for selecting the Quorum drive?

    I did created the MSDTC and just about to start the SQL Server 2008 installation. But before installing SQL Server, I would like to know the screen where he SQL Server 2008 installation gives the option for selecting the Quorum drive.

    Thank you so much

    It doesnt, the quorum is part of the Windows cluster deployment not the SQL Server installation

    We just created Single node Windows 2008 cluster and according our Windows admin, we can only create the Quorum when we add Second node to the existing single node cluster

    Is that the case or we can create quorum even on single node cluster?

    Please advice

    On the cluster node go into Failover Cluster Manager and at the top of the treeview underneath where it says "failover cluster manager" click on the Windows cluster name.

    The centre pane will show the quorum type you are using which should default to "Node Majority" on a single node cluster.

    Let me know what you see!
