Hi,

i have SQL Cluster with 1 Node. I have created an Alias for SQL Server like "MYDBALIAS".
i installed sharepoint and used this alias.

Now i am going to install 2nd node in cluster. just want to know should i have to create alias again on 2nd node.

do i need to take any further action configuration so that when node 1 fails sharepoint automatically switch to 2nd node.

please guide me

What is this alias that you speak of? Where is it? Show us.

As long as you follow the proper procedure for adding a node, Sharepoint won't even know about it. It's all handled through a virtual name. Sharepoint connects to the virtual name and not to the physical node name.
