    1. What are SQL Server Dependency ?

    My response :- All objects

    That is not a great response to be fair. At what level are we talking?

    You could say that SQL Server depends on Windows, but thats stating the obvious.

    Are you referring to a clustered or non clustered instance of SQL Server?

    2. What are SQL Cluster dependence ?

    My Response :- Cluster admin, storage, etc

    A clustered instance of SQL Server typically has the following resources

    • Virtual IP address
    • Virtual Network name
    • clustered disk resources
    • SQL Server instance service
    • SQL Server instance agent service

    The virtual name is dependant upon the virtual IP

    The SQL Server service is dependant upon the disk and network name resources

    The SQL Server agent is dependant upon the SQL Server service

    Draw this out diagrammatically and you'll have yourself a small tree 😉
