cluster installation.

Hi ,
I have cluster with 2 nodes (sql 2000 on win 2003 ) and i want to install
active/passive configuration .
for that configuration for my understanding i need named instanced let say
SQLPROD and my vitual server name
is SQLPROD so the name instance will be SQLPROD\SQLPROD this is all very
clear but i do not know
which ip address to specifiy in installation of the sql server when he ask
for ip for virtual sql server.
SQLPROD has an ip address
The IP addr will be what you assign it. You can't use an existing IP, don't
try using the Cluster's IP addr, the install won't let you. The IP addr you
assign must also be in the public address subnet for the cluster.
Cheers,
Rod

|||It's asking for a new IP Address to use for SQL Server. In total you will
need four:
- Physical node A
- Physical node B
- Virtual Cluster
- Virtual SQL

|||You will also need a heartbeat IP for each node. This IP can be
whatever you want.
For example:
192.168.1.1 - Node 1 Heartbeat
192.168.1.2 - Node 2 Heartbeat
