All
i have a new 2k3 server cluster that has sql server 2k sp3a installed. I am looking for documentation / install notes from anyone that has installed analysis services on a clustered sql2k installation ( whether the clustered nodes were 2k or 2k3 ). I'm not finding much on the web in the way of suport or documentation. Any help is apreciated

To resources you might want to look at:
1. Analysis Services Operations Guide
(http://www.microsoft.com/technet/pro...erate/anservog.
asp)
2. KB Article on Analysis Services support of MSCS clustering
(http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=308023)
3. NLB clustering and Analysis Services
(http://www.microsoft.com/sql/evaluat...gOLAPsites.asp)

#3 is a bit dated and says that MSCS clustering is not supported. That has
changed since it was published and AS is now fully supported (albeit, not as
a native MSCS service, but using the generic service as #2 outlines).

Also while #2 specifies step-by-step for Win2K clusters; the actual steps
for Win2K3 are very similar and I doubt if you will run into any problems.

Hope that helps.
