Hello:

I'm sort of new to clustering and some of these questions
popped into mind:

- From an administrative perspective, which of the two is
more easily manageable, Active/Active or Active/Passive?

- When would one want to use A/A or A/P (i.e. how to
evaluate key objectives to determine clustering type)

Thanks for your response.

Once you "get" clustering, A/A or A/P management is the same from a
clustering standpoint. From a SQL standpoint, A/A is more work, cause you
have another copy of SQL to manage.

It is not recommended to run A/A, most systems are not configured to handle
the double load upon failure.

Cheers,

Rod
