2008 & 2008R2 clustering are dead-simple compared to 2003 and much more stable, IME.
My recommendations for hardware are always the same: buy the best your money will give you, and ensure that you include a support contract. Regards, Michael B. Smith Consultant and Exchange MVP http://TheEssentialExchange.com From: Ziots, Edward [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, February 24, 2011 10:46 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Windows 2008 R2 Clustering, and SQL 2008 All, Looking for some suggestions on what folks are using hardware-wise for your Windows 2008 Clusters using either SQL 2008 or SQL 2008 R2. Been asked for specifications on a new cluster accordingly, and I haven't done any Windows 2008 Clustering yet, and just want to make sure I don't miss anything. Using EMC VMAX san and Qlogic 8GB HBA's and the new SAN is SCP-3 Compliant. Feel free to ping me off list, if you have done some clustering builds with Windows 2008/Windows 2008R2, be interested if there is any gotchas as compared to windows 2003 R2 clustering. Z Edward E.
