I'm not a big fan of clustering because it still has a single point of
failure(disk) and it never seems to fail over when you think it should.
That being said we have 2 clustered SQL servers(Politics!) and about 50
non-clustered. Even with our large web-cluster SQL box we still drop
and apply logs to a failover and BR server for safety.

I favor some form of log shipping.

Thanks,
Ralph W. Davis

Subject: Clustering

I would like to pick the brains of anyone that is successfully running
SQL
in a Clustered environment. What were the hitches? Would you recommend
doing this? Is the SQL2005 Mirroring option or logshipping a better
option?
As I stated, I just want opinions at this point. Some discussion has
come
up regarding this possibility and I wanted to have some dba input. My
personal input is biased and I wanted to see how the rest of the DBA's
out
there felt.
Thanks
