Hello Everyone,

I am sort of new to your software, I have a 2 questions in general. I saw a tutorial on how to do a failover cluster, in the tutorial the guy used steeleye diskkeeper to do replication for the SQL part of the cluster.

Iwas wondering if i could use your software to do the replication if so do you have a white paper or does someone have a tutorial on how to do that. Secondly if I provide a data disk using the Starwind iSCSI to the cluster do I have to present a lun to both nodes or can I share the one disk with both nodes?

Thanks,

Hi Coop59,
You need to present the LUN to both cluster nodes, otherwise they won't consider it a shared storage resource.
There are several documents on the clustering topic available on our website:

These two cover the Hyper-V failover clustering, but the design is identical with SQL failover cluster
