Default SQL 2005 in VM - 02-23-2009 , 12:58 PM






Hi,

I am just starting to set up a test SQL 2005 cluster with 2 nodes in a VM
environment.
I was told that the VM version we have is not enterprise version, so only 1
node can see the SAN at any time.
My question is if only node can the SAN at any time, then is it still
possible to set up the cluster?
Thank you.

What do you mean by "VM Version"?

It is free VM from Netware. We are a Netware shop.
I guess they have a full blown version, but it's not free.

"Free" Software is free only if your time has no value.
