Clustering dependencies

  • SQL IP Address (Virtual Server Name): NONE - correct, no remote access without an IP address

    SQL Network Name (Virtual Server Name): SQL IP Address - correct, the network name is associated with the IP address, so without an IP address, you can't have the name

    SQL Server Disk Resource(s): SQL NetworkName - Not necessarily, just because you haven't got a network name doesn't mean you don't want to bring the disks online.

    SQL Server Agent SQL Server - correct, SQL Agent needs SQL Server

    You haven't listed the SQL Server dependencies, so I would expect them to be:-

    SQL Server: SQL Server Disk Resource(s), SQL NetworkName

    As far as the question about restart and affect the group is concerned, that is set individually for each resource.

    Restart specifies whether or not you want the cluster service to restart the resource if it fails... this is usually set to yes.

    Affect the group specifies whether or not you want the whole resource group failed over if that resource fails. That is up to you... for example, you may not want to fail everything over just because SQL Agent fails or a File share fails.
