Summary: In the first Blog entry, I follow step-by-step procedures to 1) Validate a 3 Node Cluster Configuration, and 2) Create a 3 Node Cluster Configuration using Windows 2008 Failover Clustering. The 3 Node Cluster will be used to Install and Configure SQL 2008 Failover Clustering Services.

In the second Blog entry, I follow step-by-step procedures to 1) Validate Failover of a 3 Node Cluster Configuration, and 2) Installation of a Clustered DTS Service in preparation for the SQL 2008 Failover Configuration. The 3 Node Cluster will be used to Install and Configure SQL 2008 Failover Clustering Services.

In the third Blog entry, I follow step-by-step procedures to SQL 2008 Failover Clustering Services. This 3 Node Cluster running on Windows 2008 Failover Clustering is an example of a configuration designed to support 'Cluster Aware Applications' on Windows 2008.
