    Hi,

    Very simple question, yet to work on clustering 🙂

    We will be configuring a 2 node active/passive cluster for one of the application.

    Do we need to enable AlwaysOn for configuring this ?

    Thanks in advance,

    Smith.

    Damn Microsoft marketing branding...

    Always-On Failover Cluster Instances is one thing and Always-On availability Groups is another one. Together they're branded as "Always-On".

    Since failover clustering had been around for 15 years, when SQL Server 2012 came out with his Always-On features, everybody refers to Always-On Availability Groups as simply Always-On.

    /RANT

    Long story short: you don't need to configure anything for always on if you're planning to install a failover cluster.
