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

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

[NTSysADM] Help setting up my new lab VMware hosts

10G switch and new NAS are up and running. Configuring network on the XenServer host for networking was dead simple. I am stumped trying to figure out how to configure the networking on the two ESXi 6.5U1 hosts. Is there someone who wouldn't mind reaching out to me off list to help me out? The

As best as I can recall, it was listed as a requirement in the last SQL clustering requirements doc I read on Microsoft's website. I thought it was up-to-date, but perhaps I am mistaken? On Aug 17, 2017 6:55 AM, "Melvin Backus" wrote: Windows clustering doesn’t

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:

Server Enterprise has not existed since 2012 came out. Standard and Datacenter both are licensed for Failover Clustering with the only difference being virtualization rights. From: listsad...@lists.myitforum.com [mailto:listsad...@lists.myitforum.com] On Behalf Of D R Sent: Thursday, August

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

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

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

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

Probably too boring for most people. I am NOT a networking virtualization host setting up person, so my request is probably too basic for most on this list. The new hosts are build, new 10G switch is up and connected to the other switch and the new Synology 1817 NAS is up and going. The three

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

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

I haven't done it since Windows 2008 R2, but Microsoft clustering does work in a vSphere environment if you have the shared storage (sounds like you do). -Original Message- From: listsad...@lists.myitforum.com [mailto:listsad...@lists.myitforum.com] On Behalf Of Michael B. Smith Sent:

"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
