Re: how many number of nodes

Up to 5 or 6. If you want one instance per server - due to load, then 4 is
the min. 1 or 2 boxes for failover, depending on your needs.

Hi,
I am a newbie to Clustering. I dont know how to decide how many
number of nodes I need to install. For example, if I have 4 SQL database
servers and all 4 servers should be highly availabe and automatically
failover. In this case how can I configure clustering?
