I have DL380 G3 Packaged Cluster running Windows 2000 Advanced server and MS Cluster Services.

Want to use Node 1 for SQL DB and Node 2 for Application (COM+) with Node 2 being failover for SQL DB and Node 1 for Application - apparently this is deemed "Active/Active" (?)even though we do not intend to run 2 copies of either at same time.

Compaq support this config for active/active but I have heard on grapevine that Microsoft (using MSCS as built into Win2k Adv Server) do not (Active\Passive only)...problem is I can't find anything on website to see official statement to that effect.

Anyone know what the real deal is and any advice ?

Cheers

Tom

Not a bad link but I have seen this one in my searching already...gives a few clues but does not specifically answer my questions:-
1. Does Microsoft support Active\Active using MS Cluster Services on Compaq DL380 G3 Packages Cluster ?
2. Does Compaq/HP support Active\Active using MS Cluster Services on Compaq DL380 G3 Packages Cluster ?

Any more specifics out there ?

Cheers

Tom
