From: Steve Kelsay [mailto:[email protected]] Subject: Microsoft Cluster and Anti Virus
What are you all doing with your cluster servers? I am told Microsoft says "NO!" to antivirus on a clustered machine. Sounds dumb to me. My DBA quoted:"Check to verify that no antivirus software has been installed on the nodes. Antivirus software can reduce the availability of clusters and must not be installed on them." <http://support.microsoft.com/kb/309422> How did he miss this in the KB Article? Considerations for clustering You can run antivirus software on a SQL Server cluster, but you must make sure that the antivirus software is a cluster-aware version.
