Active/Active Cluster Configuration |
|
|
How do i configure two node active/active cluster with single shared storage.
I need one server to use its resources for sql server and the other for File
and Print Server. I need to make use of both the servers resources.
In other words i need to access the shared storage from both the servers,
Any help on this is highly appreciated |

You have to configure at least 2 (3 if you count the quorum) physical drives
in your shared device. What kind of shared device do you use? Then create a
clustergroup for SQL and one for the file and print services. You should
have 3 Clustergroups (1 default Clustergroup containing the Quorum etc.)

hi thanks for giving it a thought? Any ways i managed to set my cluster for
active active. I would like to tell the exact setup i have done.
Configuration
2 HP DL 380 G$ Cluster Server with the MSA 500 G2 Storage Server.
2 Mirrored HDD in each Server & 7 * 146 HDD in the storage server.
i created two raids in the storage serve, one with 3 hdd and one with 4 hdd.
in server 1 i used one raid creating 2 partitions one for quorum and one for
sql
in server 2 i used the other raid creating 2 partitions one for file storage
one for oracle.
this way i am able to user both the server for performance as well as failover

AFAIK that would cause the SQL Server to fail over if you move the Default
Cluster group.

Same as above.

Clustering treats Partitions the same as a Physical Disk, notice that it is
one resource in the Cluster Administrator.
