how many clusters can i set up ?

A slight confusion. I have created a windows cluster with 2 nodes and a
single instance of SQL 2K cluster
Is it possible to create many windows clusters? I was looking at the Cluster
Admin and there is an option to create a new cluster ... Why would one want
to do that especially with only 2 nodes ? Please let me know. Using windows
2003
One server can only be an active participant in one cluster at a time, but
the cluster administrator tool can be used to manage (and create) all
clusters in your environment. You can have as many clusters in your
environment as you'd like...obviously this is limited to the amount of
hardware that you own.
So, you don't need to run cluster administrator on the nodes that you are
using to form your cluster...it can be run on any host that has the utility
installed (all W2K3 Ent Servers).

John

How long does it take to startup SQL Service with AWE enabled

Hi,
We have a fail-over cluster with a SQL Server 2000 instance installed on it.
There are 6GB memory available on the cluster, and we have the /PAE switch
turned on. I want to enable AWE in SQL Server and allocate 3-4GB to SQL
server. but from what I read about turn on AWE, some paper warned that the
startup process of SQL service will take a lot longer. Does anybody have
experience about how long it takes to startup SQL in a cluster with AWE
enabled with 3GB memory allocated? And if we experience a timeout error
before SQL Service started, what can we do?
Thanks
Hong Wang
Yes, the failover process will take longer with AWE enabled. The reason is
that the AWE memory must be "zeroed out." This takes extra time. However,
we have found that the Recovery Interval controls most of the failover
timing and that managing the Shared Volumes consumes more time than the AWE
clearing.
With 8 GB RAM, Windows 2000, SQL Server max server memory set to 6.5 GB, a
typical failover for a busy system could take 3 to 5 minutes. The recovery
process could take up to 15 minutes or so on a busy system once services
were restored on the new node.
There is also a KB article that discusses application processes "awareness"
of clustered instances. Basically, the application must use retry logic for
detected database connectivity errors, which can be trapped. However, this
would be good practice even if the database was hosted on a stand-alone
system.
Sincerely,
Anthony Thomas

How is 4GB Max Database size applied?

Is the 4GB Database size calculated by totalling up the size of all the databases in an instance OR against each individual DB in an instance (e.g. you can have an unlimited number of DB each up to 4GB in size)?
TIA
Antony

Hi Antony,

It is calculated based on individual databases and includes only user data. You can have as many 4 GB database as your HD allows and as is reasonable maintainable within the other Express limits of 1 CPU and 1 GB of memory.
