how to set up transaction logs on local disk in cluster server sql server 2008

  • Question: Is it feasible to store Database Log files on local drive in clustered environment, and if so, how you set it so files are moved to the other node in case of failure. Lets say you have node1 and node 2, the goal is to set them active/passive clustered, is it possible to have the log files stored in local drives?

  • Database files must be on shared storage when you have a clustered SQL Server.

  • Gail, thank you... How about temp files in SQL 2008?

  • On shared storage unless you make some unsupported hack (which I am not going to explain).
