Clustering

  • In a two node sql server 2000 active/active cluster, is it possible to do load balancing there for the db servers?

  • I may be wrong, but I don't think it is possible to do dynamic load balancing between both instances in an active/active cluster (ie having incoming requests dispatched on the less loaded server, for example).

    What is possible, on the other hand, is to split your databases between both servers. It's like having 2 separate servers, but you get the added benefit of failover.

  • We have been investigating setting up an active/active cluster. We have identified that cross database chaining is not intended to work across two separate servers. This may be an issue, depending on how tightly security is locked down on the database. We are going for execute permissions only on stored procedures and this policy must be relaxed if linked databases are split across two servers
