| Hi all, I'm going to be taking care of a running system but haven't done this since around 2002 or so, and am pretty rusted. Anyone know any good articles I can read to come up to speed in case of a failover?Thanks,Jake. |

| Hi Tara,Presumably clustering as I've read some scant docu mentioning the heartbeat, but that's as specific as it got. |

| I don't have any good articles handy. Clustering is a complex topic. Is there anyone there that can get you up to speed? We hired a consultant to train us and setup our first cluster. This was many years ago. Is a budget available to help you get started?In the case of a failover, SQL Server should come online on the other node and everything be fine (assuming the applications can handle it). We have monitoring in place to notify us when a failover occurs, so that we can look at the system and figure out what happened.Tara KizerMicrosoft MVP for Windows Server System - SQL Serverhttp://weblogs.sqlteam.com/tarad/Subscribe to my blog |
