Clustering with NAS

#11

I really fail to understand somebody who is investing in clustering
technology and then introduces a disk system which is not available at all?
Why bother implementing clustering to begin with? Why not simply have
separate machines on a SATA RAID in that case, cheap, fast, some level of
redundancy

Hi Kevin,

I'm looking for an Active/Active cluster solution - not a passive failover
one.

thanks - pete.

Not being supported by Microsoft is a good enough reason for me to not
try it...

There are cheaper failover options that are less hardware strict, such as
a product called double-take (www.nsisoftware.com no affiliation...)

Has anyone clustered SQL server 2000 using a NAS server (eg. Dell
PowerVault 745N) as the shared storage? I know that SAN is recommended
but costs are vastly higher. Any reasons as to why it shouldn't be done
would be helpful.

thanks - pete.
