@ Wally.
My current suitation is
On winsvr1, i have everything( binaries, data, logs etc) all installed on the C drive then on winsvr2 i have only the binaries installed on the same path as winsvr1 on C but the (data, logs, jobs etc) are all installed on the E drive.
The winsvr1 is supposed to be the primary site while the winsvr2 the secondary...
Now from the pdf it says
1. Installing SQL Server on the first system
Install the SQL Server instance to the local system disk.
If you are configuring SQL in a non-shared storage environment, install the
SQL Server database files and analysis service on to the local attached
non-shared storage (non system drive).
2. Installing SQL Server on additional systems.(i am assuming this would be winsvr2) Install the SQL Server instances, database files, and analysis service files on the local system disk.
Note: In a non-shared storage configuration, installation of SQL Server on
additional systems is not applicable
Now i dont understand that because i am using separete hard disk for both servers as their E drives and not a shared hard drive as E.
So what is supposed to be the recommended installation setup for SQL failover over two systems.
I was thinking if you have the binaries on C drive and data, logs etc on E drive on a particular system(winsvr1) the same should apply for the second system(winsvr2)
