Clustering without shared disk array?

#1

Hi all,

We have 3 server, compaq 570ML and try to find out the way to increase
availability and fault tolarency with MS SQL 2k server, W2k AS. I heard SQL
failover clustering is not possible without disk array, is it no way?

Regards

That is correct. You will need a shared data source that the cluster
software can arbitrate between the host nodes.

Yes you do have to have a shared drive in order to install a SQL Server
cluster.
