Re: Active / Active usage of cluster nodes |

You should use 3 physical disk resources. MSCS is a shared nothing cluster
model so you will not be able to access the disk resource from both nodes
simultaneously. So, you should use the 500mb partition for your quorum, and
then split up your 800gb into smaller disks for SQL and F&P.
No one here will be able to tell you how big your SQL database will be or
how much data to use for file&print.
Individually applications that are cluster aware usually load the binaries
on all the cluster nodes and then store any shared data on the cluster
volumes and they also replicate necessary registry entries between nodes.
For applications that are not cluster-aware...it's up to you to decide.

i have recently installed and HP dl380 G4 Cluster server with the MSA
500
G2 external storage. I have made a 500 MB partition on the external
storage
for Quorum. and the Rest 800 GB i have created a single partition for file
storage.
I need one node of the cluster to run sql and the other node to run some
Accounts application and as a File and print server.
How do i go about doing this (Currently i am using all these service in
one
node the other node is idle, i need to set my cluster for performance as
well
as availability.)
I would appreciate your help regarding the following.
How do i partition the external storage device.( what capacity)
Where do i load applications (in the server hdd or in the shared storage)
