Okay go ahead and shred me now, and then please see if you can answer my question. I have a client that is living in the dark ages. Currently they are
clustered on NT4.0 and SQL 7.0 using legato. We are moving them a step at a
time to SQL 2000/Windows 2003 clustering. W2k and SQL7.0 using microsoft
clustering is the first baby step. I need to know if I can name my SQL7.0
virtual server the same as the cluster.
We are trying to have minimal impact on the apps, that hit the server and
they are not sure if any is mapping to the cluster at this time.
