Re: Clustering Question

What we are developing is an online auction site. (Hence high reliability) Would we not need an internet connection?

Thanks,

Bryan

Bryan,

you cannot install Cluster (MSCS) on a Small Business Edition, you need
Enterprise Edition or Datacenter.

And what are you doing with Cable connections and DSL connections ?
If you are clustering an SQL server (as per all posts in this thread) surely
you want to do this behind a firewall, not connected to the internet.

Rgds,
Edwin.

So let me see if I have this right. Here is what my situation is.

I will have two computer (nodes)
One computer will have Window Server Small Business Edition with Cable
Internet
The Other computer will have Window Server Small Business Edition With DSL
Internet And 1 Instance of SQL Server Edition deployed to both machines.

Is this correct?

Thanks,

Bryan
