  1. SQL Server 2000 Clustering Dave Fackler

  2. Agenda • Windows 2000 Clustering • SQL Server 2000 Clustering • Implementation Tips

  3. Windows 2000 Clustering • Shared disk approach • Windows 2000 Advanced Server • Two nodes • Four nodes possible with Data Center • Install using Cluster Service • Manage using Cluster Administrator • Resources • Groups

  4. “Standard” Win2K Cluster

  5. SQL Server 2000 Clustering • SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Edition • Install using SQL Server Setup • Create virtual server • Single instance or multi-instance (not active-passive or active-active) • Manage using Enterprise Manager

  6. Single Instance SQL2K Cluster

  7. After Failover

  8. Multi-Instance SQL2K Cluster

  9. Implementation Tips • Plan, plan, plan! • Plan shared disk space • Nothing should go on the Quorum drive • Recommend RAID-1 for Quorum • Recommend RAID-10 (or at least RAID-5) for SQL database files • Recommend RAID-1 for SQL log files • Need at least 2+2+3=7 drives! • Don’t skimp on hardware

  10. Implementation Tips • Plan, plan, plan! • Plan network setup • Public network IP addresses for cluster nodes, the cluster itself, and each SQL Virtual Server • Private network for cluster nodes • WINS and DNS services running • Create service accounts beforehand • Don’t forget MSDTC setup

  11. Implementation Tips • Test, test, test! • Cluster failover • Hardware failures • Network cards and cables • Shared disk arrays and cables • Entire node shutdowns • SQL Server and application failures

  12. Agenda • Windows 2000 Clustering • SQL Server 2000 Clustering • Implementation Tips • But wait… what about Analysis Services, DTS, etc? • All possible, but another presentation…
