    Hi there,

    Does anyone know how to add an alias name to an clustered SQL Server instance?

    I went onto the SQL Server Native Client Configuration on the SQL Server Configuration Manager. Entered all the relevant fields under aliases but it alias name does not work.

    Any ideas?

    Regards

    What are you trying to accomplish?

    A SQL alias is used for a client to connect to a server instance using a different instance name than what the server is configured for. It is not normally setup on the SQL server itself.

    Setting up an alias for a cluster is the same process as setting up an alias for a stand-alone instance.
