Session 1: Installing SQL Server 2008 on a Windows Server 2008 R2 Failover Cluster
Abstract:
As DBAs we get to work on a lot of the features of the SQL Server product, but
it is not uncommon for us to spend our entire careers without having a chance to
work closely with clustering. There
are a lot of DBAs who are otherwise perfectly qualified in all respects for
attractive job openings that absolutely require clustering experience. Chuck
Boyce will walk through the basics of installing SQL Server 2008 on a Windows
2008 R2 failover cluster and show you some ways that you can obtain this skill
on your own using a tool called VMLite.
