Clustering

  • Hi Experts.

    What is active/active model clustering?

    Subha

  • Microsoft refer to these as multi-instance failover clusters now.

    for the simplest case of a two node cluster, it is where you have more than one instance of SQL installed on the windows OS cluster, and each node supports an instance, therefore both nodes are referred to as 'active'.

    this is not a load balanced cluster, it is still failover capability only.

    Active/Active - there is at least one SQL instance running on each of two nodes.

    Active/Passive - there is a least one SQL instance running on one node (active); the other node has zero SQL instances running on it (passive), but is available to have the instance(s) running on the active node to be failed over to it.

    So, based on this, can you now explain what an Active/Active/Passive cluster is?

    If you can't explain to another person how the code that you're copying from the internet works, then DON'T USE IT on a production system! After all, you will be the one supporting it!

    now referred to as an 'n+1' configuration by microsoft.
