Hi,

Thanks for reply.

Is there any step-by-step guide for configuration or failover planning ?

Thanks again.

Active-Active cluster implies that you will two or more resource groups,
which under "normal" circumstances will be running on different cluster
nodes. The process of implementing an active-active cluster is for the
most
part the same as an active-passive one - the primary difference comes
into
plan during failover planning phase (in particular, with multi-node
clusters)...

Hi all,

I could find several solutions searching for posts in Clustering
section,
but am still having doubts.

We are going to install servers for our erp application - SAP. One
server
shall be DB server (Database) and another CI server (Content). OS -
Windows
Server 2003 -R2, Enterprise Edition and SQL 2005.
We want to have both these servers to be clustered as Active-Active.
Going
through the posts, Active-Active does not seem to be recommended from
microsoft compared to Active-Passive cluster.
Can someone please guide about this ?
Also if someone can please provide link - how to configure
Active-Active
cluster in Windows server 2003. Sort of step-by-step guide ?

Thanks in advance.
