SQL Clustering on Hyper V - is a cluster within a cluster a benefit You do need to ensure that your storage infrastructure can cope with 20 or 30 SQL servers running at the same time. It's easy for a storage expert to say "yeah, it's fine" but you have to multiply everything by the PEAK of ALL the servers (How long is your backup window?) and still have enough left for growth. My storage and back-end requirements have 10x in the last 3 years! |

SQL Clustering on Hyper V - is a cluster within a cluster a benefit If you read my other posts, I'm a HUGE fan of virtualisation. I prefer vmware ESX (I still feel Hyper-V is playing catch up). Big wins for availability (HA, DRS), maintenance and flexiblity. But - you still need maintenance windows! Given MS publishes updates on "patch Tuesday", we have a "patch Sunday" each month that gives us enough time to test the patches on test servers, and than schedule reboots (if required) with the business. |
