SQL 2005 Cluster -best practice in configuring this?

[geranimo666]

Hello-

Is there a decent article or url link based on SQL 05 Clustering concerning a best practice measure, or just perhaps a somewhat step by step process anyone can point me out to?

Thanks for any information

Clustering is one of those things that if you don't know exactly what you're doing, you're asking for a lot of expense and headache later. Best not to guess.

The last company I worked for spent $20K to have our 64-bit clustered servers RE-clustered as the first attempt was done by amateurs. It was an expensive lesson.

After you've read the doc that Paul pointed out feel free to post any specific questions. I've setup many SQL 2005 servers in clustered enviroments and I'm happy to share my info.
