Thank you all for your feedback. I created this article as to me it seems the DBA is always an afterthought in most organisations.

"oh he\she only looks after the database they dont do anything else".

I've worked in an environment where you phone a customer and find the db admin has been given the boot because reductions are being made. Not now, using this guide you are able to swing your clustering axe while wearing your AD hat and still find time to do your day job 🙂

since writing the article FreeNAS has moved up editions from .7.2 to 8.0 and is totally different. The legacy version info can be found here. Links to download are here[/url]
