I am new with SQL and have a question regarding SQL Connections. I have 2 Win2003 Servers(tom and Jerry) setup with Microsoft Cluster installed in Active-->Active Mode. Also, on both of these servers, I have SQL 2000 installed in Active-->Active mode as well. So I installed SQL2000 on Tom first and gave the SQL server name of Dog1 which has and IP assigned to it, at the same time I gave an instance name of D1. So now my SQL on Tom server reads Dog1\D1. I did another installation on Tom and gave it Dog2\D2. Than I went and installed SQL again on Jerry, this time and gave name of Cat\C3, and Cat\C4.

Now in my DNS, I have Dog1, Dog2, Cat3, Cat4 defined with an IP I assigned.

Problem I am running into is I cannot connect my application or make and ODBC connection to Dog1\D1, Dog2\D2, Cat3\C3 or Cat4\C4. I am getting Server not found message.

Can anyone help me and tell me where I am going wrong, as I need to get this app up ASAP.


Thanks,

Jay

In Cluster Administrator, how many groups do you have? There should be 3, one for the cluster, and one for each virtual server.

Did you create an alias using Client Network Utility on the machine where the application resides? All SQL instances are listening on different ports, right?
