Default Application Databases storing location - 05-03-2004 , 01:57 AM






We have SQL Database in Cluster volume F:
Cluster volume is mounted in the primary server A1.
We have production and test databases of the applications
stored in the Cluster Storage F:.
Is it possible to store all the test databases of the
applications in the Clocal harddisk) of the primary
server?
If there is a solution pls advice.

You can copy data to anywhere you would like. To use the data with
clustering, you have to have the ability for that data to be reached by any
clustered node, even after a failure. If you keep anything local, and that
machine
fails, other nodes will not be able to access it.

Cheers,

A clustered SQL server must store data on a drive that is in the same
resource group. The SQL server must be dependant on the physical disk(s)
that clustered data is stored on.

Can the Clocal harddisk) of the primary server be
included as part of the same resource group as the
clustered SQL server?

Fine. We do not want the test data in the cluster mode and
need not be available in case of failure.
Is it possible to have SQL server in Cluster and
applications data in the local?

No. C: is not a shared cluster resource.

No, sorry you can't do that. All SQL data needs to be on the shared storage.
