Hello,
We are planning to install SAP Netweaver 7.0 JAVA with SQL Server 2005 in a cluster with two node servers. As I was reading the installation guide that I have downloaded from service.sap.com, I mentioned that Central Instance has to be installed locally (and not on a cluster shared disk) on one node of the cluster and the dialog instance on the other node. The question is - considering the aforementioned architecture u2013 if the node that has the central instance fails then the whole system will fail also. In this case we will not have a fault tolerant cluster resulting on single point of failure!
Is there any other way to have a fault tolerant (clustered) Central Instance (for example is it possible to install it locally to both nodes of the cluster or if dialog instance can substituted by another instance)?
thanks in advanced
