VCS mount question
Hello,
I have got the following request. and let me know is there a way I can setup.
I need to setup a SQL server on Windows 2008 and data will be on RDM1. Also, there will be another RDM2. Some times customer wants to start the SQL with RDM1 and some times they want to start with RDM2.
Can I setup a SG with IP. mount, SQLserver, RDM1? And create another SG just for RDM2 for mount the Drive?
Hi Mokkan,
Check out the FireDrill in the docs. It should cover the ForFireDrill attribute in the VMDg and MountV resources. The other things that you will need to be concerned with is that the second service group will need a different IP and Lanman virtual server name so that it does not cause problems with the production SQL instance.
The SQL server resource and GenericService resources should be OK since they should be using the virtual server name and can determine that SQL Server and SQL Agent services are running in a different virtual server context. But you might want to be careful when you do your first test online of the second service group.
Thank you,
Wally
