Maybe that's my problem.

Thanks. This just does the cluster install in 2 steps (first exclude 2nd node and setup virtual server on 1st, then add 2nd). The end result was the...

I had trouble getting a demo password initially....which started me off on a bad foot.

I didn't ask about support. I believe they gave you...

They license their...

So that would cover the single point of failure.

Thanks a lot Wes.

So a single bus on a single array for an active/active setup. So could a physical disk be broken into 2 logical drives (F/G) and servera...

So can the drives/partitions that each server has primary access to and will have their SQL databases stored on be on the same bus of the scsi array?

If they can...
