-----Original Message----- Hello Gabriel, I understand that you will have a two node cluster with SQL Server 2000 on one node. With just SQL Server virtual server, you can call this an Active-Passive configuration. The node that makes SQL resources available being the active node and the other node that is idle (and is waiting for failover ) being the passive. Yes, you will install Exchange on the Passive node. But note that once you have Exchange installed on the second node, your configuration will no longer be Active-Passive. It will be an Active-Active configuration since now each node in the cluster is making cluster resources available (one node having SQL resources and second node having Exchange). NOTE: In this configuration, each node must be able to run its own resources and the resources of BOTH nodes in the event of a failover. Depending on the resources and the capacity of the nodes, performance may suffer when a failover occurs and a single node is running all resources. For step-by-step information to implement Exchange on a Microsoft Windows 2000-based cluster, please refer to HOW TO: Implement Exchange 2000 Server on a Windows 2000- Based Cluster http://support.microsoft.com/?id=328875 Additional Information : White Paper - Deploying Exchange 2000 Server Clusters http://support.microsoft.com/?id=326271 HTH Regards, Uttam Parui SQL Server Developer Support Engineer, MCDBA, MCSE, MCT Product Support Services Microsoft Corporation This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.
