It shouldn't effect you at all. The cluster simply rolls another seprate instance of SQL onto the current up node if there is a failure. I haven't seen any problems...

The fact it is A/A shouldn't effect the way the extSP works. Do you have a specific problem with a extSP on an A/A cluster?

So, You are saying the server failover is fine but your apps don't see the failover? I would check that you can connect to the passive node after the failover...

I agree about the logging in as a LOCAL admin to the box if you can. I've had issues on non mixed mode machines where my account was a domain...

At some point you are going to run out of bandwith on the raid controler with two many drives. Thats why SAN is so attractive you can fill the bus...

So what are your thoughts about two 0+1 raid arrays. One for data and one for log files. Access times should scream if they are all 15k drives.
