VCS discovery windows
Hello Experts, As part of a monitoring solution, we have been relying upon the presence of below registry keys to detect presence of a VCS on Windows, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\VERITAS\VC HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\VERITAS\VCS\Base This however seems to be unreliable leading to false positives. I want an approach(could be a registry key/value) to detect a VCS with certinity on a Windows. Thank you! Ashish1.1KViews0likes1Comment
SSIS in SQL cluster
Hello all, what is the recommended configuration for SSIS in a SQL cluster? If we develop the packages on a different non-clustered instance with BIDS, do I even need to install SSIS within the cluster environment? This is on a 6.0.1 cluster environment with SFWHA.683Views1like0CommentsSQL memory management in active/active configuration
Hi, I will have 4 nodes in an active/active/active/active configuration. Each node will have 3 SQL instances installed on it. Each node has 256GB RAM. I know I can set the limit each instance can use, but the more memory SQL gets, the better it runs. Ideally, I would set each instance to use 80GB or so. Roughly 1/3 of the node's memory, leaving some for the OS and Veritas. What happens if one of the nodes goes down? Where would the newly failed over instance get it's memory from? Is there a way to manage this? Should I let SQL manage it? I don't want a run-away query on one instance to hog all the node's memory though and affect the other instances on that node. What are my options?Solved1.6KViews0likes2Comments

Hi All, Currently my team is working on windows clustering part, but i am not getting a user guide about it on how to configure the same. If anybody has a link reference or user guide document for windows clustering , please share the same OS: Win 2008 And also i want to write a script for my application windows clusterin (i.e. as like as Veritas as where we can write our own script and import it via clustering wizard) Your help is much appreciated.

Monitoring VCS remotely
Hi Guys I am new to VCS. I am developing a cluster monitor for VCS. I need to monitor the status of VCS installed on a windows box remotely. On a Linux box I can SSH to the cluster node and run HA commands and get the result. Is there any way that I can get the status information on windows? Are there any WMI classes available to fetch this information from windows box. Thanks RahulSolved586Views0likes1Comment
