Re: Three Node cluster - Active /Active /Passive

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



1) Yes.
2) Two Virtual Servers
3) Poorly.
In practice, You will likely allow each SQL Server to use an entire host
node's resources, knowing that there is a "spare" node available during a
failover. When a failover occurs, I typically reset the memory requirements
for each instance so I can "stack" muptiple instances on the same node. I
always have alerting to detect when a failover occurrs so someone can pay
immediate attention to the problem.
