Hi, Can someone give me an opinion with installing SQL Server 2005 with clustering and use those servers for file servers at the same time. Thanks Jacques |
need, which is probably an extremely vital need, then adding file sharing on
top of it will result in increased risks to your SQL environment. The whole
purpose of doing High Availability is to reduce risk, and this configuration
would not be the best solution.
If the company has a huge demand for redudant file services, then consider
either a second cluster or implementing DFS with replication.

Hi Russ, Thank you for the information. But I should have explain a little more why we want to install SQL Server 2005 in cluster on the file servers who are already using Microsoft cluster. The reason is that we want to install SharePoint Portal Server 2007 with SQL Server 2005 in clustering*. When SharePoint will be accessible the files on the file servers would eventually be transfered in the portal on the SQL server. This way the files servers would eventually becomes only SQL servers. What do you think, do you think the servers would be able to take the load? |
