Hi,

Apologies for this but it is my first time building a cluster.

Basicall I want a 2003 cluster with SQL 2000 clustered in an active/active
mode built in a test lab.

I have 2 compaq servers with fibre cards and 1 fibre channell array for use
in this test. I have multiple nics as well, do I need any thing else?

When I am installing 20003 adv do I need to do anyhting different in regards
to the clustering ?

Thanks in advance,
Gary

Never apologize for asking for help, I won't tell your wife!

I like to test with Virtual Server 2005 or VMWare, but real hard works as
well.

You will need Enterprise Edition of everything.

Here is a guide for Windows Server 2003 clustering -

Here is a great guide for SQL 2000 on top of the cluster -

Good luck and come back if you need more, honest I won't tell her!

Cheers,

Rod
