That's correct. Client access is not via the heartbeat. However, it is possible to allows clients to access via more than one NIC, in which case, you will need a virtual IP for each such network. -- Tom ---------------------------------------------------- Thomas A.

Thank-you Tom. I just found this on MSDN also: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms179530.aspx It states, "On the Virtual SQL Server Configuration page, enter one IP address for each network configured for client access. That is, enter one IP address for each network on which the failover cluster instance is available to clients on a public (or mixed) network. Only one IP address is allowed on each subnet." Much appreciated, Rubens "Tom Moreau" <tom (AT) dont (DOT) spam.me.cips.ca> wrote in message news:eU9HmcTjIHA.4740 (AT) TK2MSFTNGP05 (DOT) phx.gbl... Your assumption is correct. The heartbeat is only for internal communication within the cluster. the public network is used for apps to connect to your virtual server. -- Tom ---------------------------------------------------- Thomas A.

I am reading how to install SQL 2005 in a clustered environment from a text book and have never done it personally myself. When you reach the Virtual Server Configuration during setup, it states: "The next thing you need to do for this new virtual server specification is to identify an IP address and which network it should use" In the example, they show adding the "ClientPublic" network as it was defined in the text. However, I gather you have the ability to add the Internal "heartbeat" network also. The text doesn't say anything else. My guess is that you only want to add the public network to the virtual server configuration as this is what the client machines will connect to. And there is no need to add the heartbeat network as this will just serve to interfere with the monitoring process. Is my assumption correct? Please forgive me if the terms I am using are incorrect. Thank-you, Rubens |
