If you are clustering because of a SQL need, which is probably an extremely vital need, then adding file sharing on top of it will result in increased risks to your SQL environment. The whole purpose of doing High Availability is to reduce risk, and this configuration would not be the best solution. If the company has a huge demand for redudant file services, then consider either a second cluster or implementing DFS with replication. -- Russ Kaufmann MVP - Windows Server - Clustering ClusterHelp.com, a Microsoft Certified Gold Partner Web http://www.clusterhelp.com Blog http://msmvps.com/clusterhelp The next ClusterHelp classes are: Dec 10 - 13 in Denver Jan 21 - 24 in New York
Hi,
Can someone give me an opinion with installing SQL Server 2005 with clustering and use those servers for file servers at the same time. Thanks Jacques

Hi Russ,
Thank you for the information. But I should have explain a little more why we want to install SQL Server 2005 in cluster on the file servers who are already using Microsoft cluster. The reason is that we want to install SharePoint Portal Server 2007 with SQL Server 2005 in clustering. When SharePoint will be accessible the files on the file servers would eventually be transfered in the portal on the SQL server. This way the files servers would eventually becomes only SQL servers. What do you think, do you think the servers would be able to take the load? Thank you Jacques "Russ Kaufmann [MVP]" <russ@clusterhelp.com> a écrit dans le message de news: D44B6F30-471A-4628-81BA-761637187EA1@microsoft.com... [quoted text, click to view] > "Geoff N.
