Summary
In this chapter, you learned how to implement a Windows Server cluster. You first learned what clustering is and the different terms used to describe and work with clustering solutions. Next, you learned how the Windows Server 2008 Failover Clustering service functions and how to plan for its installation. You then installed the Failover Clustering service and ran the Validate a Configuration Wizard to ensure that the targeted servers could indeed operate as a cluster. Finally, you explored the process required to install SQL Server 2008 to a cluster and to maintain and support that cluster after installation.
