Re: Setting UP NEW CLUSTER

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

Are you using Standard Edition SQL Server or Enterprise Edition? If the
latter, why not just have 1 multi-node cluster?

If you want the cluster(s) to have access to more than one array, you will
need a proper switch network in place, and all would need to be shareable
across each of the nodes.

You can connect each node directly into each storage array, but it would be
better for each to have multiple HBAs connected to each switch, each of
which is connected to each array.

I am not sure what exactly you are asking.

Sincerely,


Anthony Thomas

MSA
1000 with 2 controllers (having 4 arrays Array1,2,3,4(with 2 arrays(1,2)
for
Cluster1 and remaining two arrays arrays(3,4) for cluster 2 .
