RE: [NTSysADM] A new task for me - setting up a SQL Server cluster on vSphere 6.0

Gee, an outdated doc? J That could still be a published requirement but I’m not sure what functional difference there would be. Our SQL 2014 cluster is running on Std. I didn’t set it up but I know we had to use Enterprise on our Exchange servers running 2008r2, and that was one of the

The link you provided is helpful - thanks. According to our EA summary, I have an effective quantity of 4 x SQL Server Standard Core 2016 licenses, with an unresolved quantity of 20 and an SA quantity of 16, though I'm not entirely sure what all that means. Kurt On Thu, Aug 17, 2017 at 11:17

Re: [NTSysADM] A new task for me - setting up a SQL Server cluster on vSphere 6.0

"Server Standard does NOT support Always On Availability Groups" Sort of? As of SQL 2016, It supports Basic Availability Groups which are AGs with limitations, they are managed the same way as a standard AG. They don't scale particularly well but they avoid the pitfalls of a WSFC SQL

Right. Server Datacenter. Knew that. Habit to type Enterprise. The rest is stuff I'm trying to figure out, since I haven't played around much with real SQL Server since the 2000 edition, and not even much with Express since then. We are planning a 2-node cluster, so it sounds like Windows Server

I think y’all are confusing yourselves. Words mean things. For the purposes of this discussion, there is no such thing as “Windows Server Enterprise”. The editions are Windows Server Standard and Windows Server Datacenter. Since Windows Server 2012, both Standard and Datacenter include Windows

According to the Techs and Sales people in my org, it seems that they did. They are telling me that every SQL Clustering needs Enterprise on 2016, or it's a 'no go'. Daniel On Thu, Aug 17, 2017 at 9:22 AM, Micheal Espinola Jr < michealespin...@gmail.com> wrote: > As best as I can recall, it

Windows clustering doesn’t require Enterprise any more. It moved to std with 2012. We run both LB and FO clusters on 2012 std. Please don’t tell me they went back with 2016. L -- There are 10 kinds of people in the world... those who understand binary and those who don't. From:

Well, for 1, I think you're going to need Enterprise Edition for your server clustering. On Wed, Aug 16, 2017 at 6:04 PM, Kurt Buff wrote: > Does anyone have a good reference on setting up a 2-node cluster like this? > > I'll be putting up SQL Server 2016 on Server 2016

Hate doing this, but I forgot to put in what is probably a fairly significant datum We don't have DRS - we only have vSphere Standard. Kurt On Wed, Aug 16, 2017 at 4:04 PM, Kurt Buff wrote: > Does anyone have a good reference on setting up a 2-node cluster like this? > >
