Three Nodes SQL Server 2008 on Windows 2008 R2 Cluster

  • Hi Folks,

    Just configured a three node ACTIVE/ACTIVE/PASSIVE SQL 2008 cluster on Windows 2008 R2.

    Here is the specs:

    Node Name: HA1

    Node Name: HA2

    Node Name: HA3

    Windows 2008 R2 Cluster:

    WIN2K8 - 192.168.168.5 - Node Majority - HA1,HA2,HA3

    SQL Server 2008 Virtual Network Names:

    Named SQL Instance: HR

    HRSQL - 192.168.168.10 - Running on Active Node HA1 - Will Fail over to HA3 - HR_DATA on H: and HR_LOG on R:

    Named SQL Instance: SALES

    SALESSQL - 192.168.168.15 - Running on Active Node HA2 - Will Fail over to HA3 - SALES_DATA on S: and SALES_LOG on L:

    Everything is working just as expected, not sure how to utilize Passive Node HA3 for Backups.

    Any suggestions please?

    Yep, seems reasonable setup to me.

    Ah, you have deployed Failover Cluster Instances of SQL Server, the feature you mention above is native only to AlwaysOn Availability groups in SQL Server 2012 onwards.

  • Thanks, this is what our next goal is. HA on SQL 2012.
