Could someone point me to some documentation on the best way to remove a
node from a SQL cluster.
It's a two node, two instance cluster, and I plan to rebuild one node, fail
to the rebuilt one, then rebuild the remaining node.

I want to implement Sql Server Clustering. And I have a software that does
only SQL Authentication to Sql Server Database.
I read that only trusted connection is possible in Sql sever clustered
database.

We are looking to implement (finally) some redundancy into our SQL Server
setup.  We are interested in failover clustering, but from what we've seen
so far most people use a SAN to implement it.  We'd prefer using independent
servers, each with their own RAID array (similar to ...

I have to setup a SQL cluster using a direct attach SAN configuration in a
different subnet to it's final "live" environment subnet.
I have read documentation that warns against changing IP configuration once
the cluster is setup.

SQL 2000 Ent. on 2003 sp1 Cluster.
-Installation & Service accounts are both domain admins
-NetBIOS disabled on NICs
-CLuster service & failover running properly

I am planning to move a SQL server to use another hard drive resource of the
same cluster, Could we find some easy way without re-install?
Thanks.

All of the sudden our server was totally sown.  The communication to it was
down
down.  The errors from the SQL Serve Log were:

Ever since installing W2K3 SP1 on our SQL 2000 cluster out performance has
detiorated dramatically.  We're seeing execution times 100 to 200% longer
(slower) and huge increase in the amount of blocking and overall locks.
We've tried updating statictics and are working with MS now ...

We are looking at setting up the following cluster:
3 Active nodes:
Each server needs to be completely distinct with its own unique
database and its own virtual server and ip.  These nodes do not share

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

Try to install Sql 2005 in 2 node cluster, however, it does not show up share
drive, only comes up Q drive, anyone knows how to install it? or any ideas?

I have two sql servers. One raid rack in the middle for them both.
I installe two cluster groups, with two sql installation.
Now I can put a db on one server and it can fail over to the other one and
the other way around. Fine.

I'm currently prepairing a SQL Server Cluster on Virtual Server 2005
according the documentation on
http://www.sql-server-performance.com/installing_sql_clustering_virtual_server1.asp
But when I've added the shared SCSI disk as described I can only start the

I've searched everywhere on the internet and now this newsgroup for an
answer to this problem and haven't managed to find a solution.
I've built an Active/Passive cluster with two nodes, the cluster runs SQL
Server and IIS. IIS Session state has been configured to run from SQL ...
