Introduction
What is a SQL Cluster?
One or more “clustered” SQL Instances on one or more physical servers
running MS Windows
Why use one?
Single point of failure is the OS
Is Virtualization protecting the Virtual OS?
Who supports?
Diverse range of knowledge required, perhaps too much for a specialist DBA?
How do we monitor? Not all tools are cluster aware
Who controls the Cluster?
Is Clustering right for us?
Management expectation is that Clustering is 100% HA. It is not
Are skills in place, if not HA = Hopefully Available
Do your applications recover from unavailability?
Terminology
Terms can mean the same thing or sometimes tend to be used
interchangeably (often wrongly!) ...including by me. Depending upon
who you talk to they can cause confusion. They include:-
Cluster
Cluster Node
...Node...Server
Service
or
Application... Virtual Server...
Cluster Group
... Failover
Cluster... SQL Instance... SQL Server… and
*ahem* Server
Active/Passive…
Single Instance
...
Multi Instance
... N+n Cluster
Resources
(take your pick)
Private Network
...interconnect...internal
Public Network
...LAN (or whatever network is the one clients will
connect through facing!)
SAN... iSCSI target...
Shared Storage
… LUN... Partition... Volume... Disk
Quorum
... Voting Disk... Majority
