Hello,

My name is Michael and I would like to thank you for using Microsoft
newsgroup.

Although the above two articles are applied for Windows 2000, there should
also adapt to Windows Server 2003 on installing SQL Server 2000 Failover
Clustering. The following SQL Clustering KB articles are specific to
Windows 2003. You should pay more attention when you install SQL 2000
Enterprise on Windows 2003.

Hello

I'm including some supplemental information below:

Storage Area Networks (SAN) Support
-----------------------------------

Microsoft Cluster Service and SQL Server virtual servers are supported in a
Storage Area Networks (SAN) environment today. The HCL category
cluster/multicluster device lists the set of SAN-capable storage devices
whose component has passed cluster component candidate testing. Note
however, that this component does <not> qualify for Microsoft Cluster
Service support services. These services are available only for validated
configurations shown in the "Cluster" category on the HCL. For more
information, see the following articles in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

280743 Windows Clustering and Geographically Separate Sites
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=280743

304415 Support for Multiple Clusters Attached to the Same SAN Device
