Hi,
I am very new to Clustering and am trying to provide a solution for a client but am finding it very hard to sort out what the licensing requirements are for MSCS.
I am looking at clustering Windows 2003 Server Standard and SQL 2005 Standard in an active Passive Node.
I am finding conflicting information on the Web as to:-
Can W2K3 Std use MSCS or does it need to be W2K3 Ent?
Can SQL 2005 Std be used on an MSCS cluster or does it need to be SQL 2005 Ent?
Do both Active and Passive Nodes need to be licensed at both OS level and SQL?
Thanks for any help in advance.
