Does anyone have any thoughts on how to setup and configure a SQL cluster of
three ACTIVE servers. I'm familiar with a 2 node, active/passive and
active/active cluster but have not seen much published on a 3 or 4 node
active(n) cluster. Thanks! - Mike

Hi

No different to a 2 node. The big descision you have to make is onto which
machine an instance can fail over. If you were to allow enough resouces for
one machine to handle all 3 server's instances, you have a lot of unused
resources.

I have another 3 server cluster. I want an active/passive and then a de
as a last resort for failover. The dev box is going to have eithe
VMWare or Virtual Server because I am using this as a last resort fo
failover for Exchange, too.

You can call me crazy but will this work?
