Hi there,

Just want to know is it possbile to configure a 3-nodes (A/A/P) SQL
Server 2000 cluster running on Windows 2000 advance OS?  Btw, any
website or whitepaper can I refer to?

Thanks in advance!

Yes it is possible.  No, I am unaware of any particular documentation.  What
you are actually looking at is a three-node, two-instance SQL Cluster.
Follow the normal cluster build process, except where you would normally do
something with "the other node" think "the other nodes".

Woops.  Rodney is correct.  I read that as SQL 2000, not Windows 2000.  You
will need Windows 2003 as the base OS.

Thanks a lot, all! All you said is I have to upgrade Windows 2003
Enterprise version for a 3-nodes cluster.
Geoff N. Hiten - 22 Dec 2005 13:40 GMT
Yes.  That is pretty much all it takes.

Hey, Geoff, I don't mean to step into all of your conversations.

I did want to add, however, that although WINDOWS 2K3 EE supports up to
8-node clusters, SQL SERVER 2K, 32 bit will only support up to 4-node
clusters.  Before you purchase your OS, seriously consider the IA-64
platform, the license is the same and is transferable from the 32-bit
architecture.

And, the "Liberty" build included the support for 8-nodes.

Sincerely,

Anthony Thomas

Nope, Windows 2000 only supports 2 nodes. Migrate to Windows Server 2003 :)
Windows 2000 is not longer supported and I would not even consider it for a
HA solution today.

Cheers,

Rod
