What edition of Windows & SQL does this article relate to? I would assume Windows Enterprise due to limitations on memory with Standard edition. Will this 3 node solution work with Standard SQL or does it require Enterprise?
Hi
as clustering requires a minimum of Enterprise for the operating system, I am using either Windows 2003 R2 Enterprise or Windows 2008 R2 Enterprise. SQL Server Standard edition supports 2 node clustering so this will be suitable for your test environment as you are only deploying each instance to 2 nodes.
INST1 nodes A and C
INST2 nodes B and C
