Hello everyone,
I am looking for the best practices or recommend solution/ white papers for the " SQL Server clustering in Virtual Environment"
we have database needs to be highly available 24x7/365 in virtual environment and needs to architect the environment. Also Vendor is keep saying " Microsoft is recommending clustering SQL server in virtual environment is not a bets practices" . If anyone has seen or have reference to saw him that's not correct would be great.
Even though vMware is coming up with vMotion, which provide vm level HA but still i am not convinced with vendor's statement.
Looking for
- shall plan to cluster SQL Server vm's inside the vMware or hyper-v?
- If Yes,so do what are the setting needs to be made in vM's and any overheard consideration?
- If no, why is not best to cluster sql in virtual environment?
- AG is the only option then?
any other helpful information would be great help.
