 How do I create a DTS Package in a Cluster

Hi,

I have a DTS Package on a single SQL unclustered sever. The Package copies tables from database A to database A on another SQL unclustered server (they are identical). Then it runs robocopy locally on the first SQL server (C:\Program Files\Windows Resource Kits\Tools\robocopy.exe); an 'Execute Process Task'.

I am now in a situation where I will be using 2 SQL Clusters (both active/passive). I have to recreate the DTS Package on Cluster1.

1. Do I install the DTS Package to the virtual node on Cluster 1 or create it on both physical SQL nodes in Cluster 1?
2. Do I need to install robocopy on both the SQL nodes in Cluster 1.
3. In the DTS Package for the source and destination SQL servers do I enter the virtual node in cluster 1 and the virtual node in cluster 2, respectively?

Very grateful for any help.

Thanks, Mike

1. you create dts package in sql instance, not on physical node.
2. you can put it on shared disk in the cluster.
3. yes, use virtual sql server name.
